Happy Birthday, StarDragon77


Yes, it is my birthday, today.  And knowing that my birthday was coming soon, I called up one of the artists I commission.  The artist here is lenbarboza. I called upon them and asked if they wouldn’t mind doing a special image for me.  The image I had in mind was of Elsa (Frozen) and Maggie (Read or Die), two women that my friend, clock-heart calls my “waifus”.  Heh, and the idea I had for them was basically similar to what was done in “Frozen Fever” that the two of them would be standing together and holding a birthday cake for me.

Initially, the background was pretty much blank so I had to fill that in myself.  So I called upon another friend of mine, KillerChibis, to help out.  I had already drawn out the outline for the table and such and she gave a few hints as far as what to do and then that was that.  The picture itself was done, I think sometime in August, so I had essentially finished coloring Maggie and Elsa as well as the cake within one weekend but the background took a little longer.  So, I worked on it little by little.  At one point, it was just the table, the presents on it and a banner saying “Happy Birthday” in the background. But I wasn’t satisfied with that.  I needed it to look like a real “mother of a blowout”.  So, I added in some balloons.  The color scheme for it was inspired by a piece that my friend, clock-heart did that used a lot of colors in it.  The piece that I’m talking about is a “Trickster Nep” and here it is: Trickster Nep

So I used the colors from the candies in there for the balloons as well as the confetti.

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes for this year.
