I missed another contest deadline! And I really wanted this one too! Nintendolife.com was holding a 'Legendary Starfy' contest for the best avatar, and I spent hours making a really spiffy Starfy picture. And I could have won, too! I would have recieved a copy of 'The Legendary Starfy', which I wasn't planning on buying, but if it's free... I want it!

But I misunderstood the cutoff time and date, and thus another prize that could have been mine has slipped through my fingers. But now you all benefit from my efforts! I like this Starfy picture, it's very cute, and it gave me a chance to try out some new things, the most prominent being the light table that my friend borrowed to me. It was nifty, and allowed me to separate Starfy, the bubbles, and the water swirl onto different sheets of paper. No more painstaking layer separating on the computer! Hoorah! It was slick.

I'm sad I missed the contest, but I'm happy with how the picture turned out. Although it is very much like the Sarah picture right next to it in terms of coloring... hrrrmmmm...

Oh well! Happiness!
