How cute is this little guy?! He's the November image from the Gerda Steiner Monthly Challenge. And doesn't he look great in Mary's colors? Got as close as I could to the colors using my Spectrum Noir markers. And I fit in the Christmas card for dessert!
I really loved Carey's sketch this week. I may have gone a little rogue, but you can still see it, right? I just saw that circle in the bottom corner as perfectly fitting with the ornament that the mouse is balancing on. And the three stars in the background were perfect to make an abstract Christmas tree background for him. I thought about cutting the shapes and making gold starbursts, but then I thought a bokeh background would be a great way to create the illusion of a Christmas tree in the background.
Now that the sketch challenge is out, I am back to say, that I pulled up the card for a closer look last night but at the time we didn't have keywords. At first, I thought, it was cute because of the image and colors and then I realized it was the sketch! I chuckled out loud. LOVE what you did with the sketch and wanted to mention it in my comment but it was too early! ;)
