Updating Portfolio to 2.0

Wanted to remake the past cards I've made for others but started having migraine halfway. Thus, can only call it Portfolio 1.5.... Stay tuned for 2.0... Was thinking of making the Christmas cards sent out for 2011 and 2012 next...

Inspirations (Tangs Christmas magazine)

Really love how the flowers fade into the black, making the perfume bottle stand out... 

OMGosh! Pink and laces... This is MY favourite kind of design~

Actual results

However, it didn't turn out that well (painting on right) as I ran out of white paint and couldn't produce an even lighter pink. Thus I replaced with orange & beige. Gave up using the painting as a background as well thus I took the magazine's lacy page and just pasted the human model and decorated it. Kinda succeeded in reproducing the card but still disappointed in myself for being unable to paint out the effect.

Besides reproducing the card, I also cut and pasted my chibi drawings (not tracing, is drawn ok!) on one common drawing paper such that they stop flying all over the page every time I flip my portfolio. :)
