The first one is not a part of that friend challenge. I wondered how ty my blends would be after so long but then it actually turned out okay. However, I dont really like it. The countries on the side are all watercolor splash textures so that was how the idea came to me. Anyways, I don't like it. ~_~
The second one, is from the friend project. I had quite some difficulty with this. Background was easy, the sky was easy but finding PEOPLE was hard. Usually I don't have that problem - I have way too many pictures of people standing in various positions T^T But this was hard. In the end I settled on this silhouette thingy aand... eh well, somehow I ended up pulling it out finally. Adding those glowing flower thingies was a SERIOUS PAIN IN THE but I wanted them there no matter what.
