even though i started out the day on a low note, i managed to bounce back and finish something i've been wanting to do for a while now! it's a portrait of my Krypto dog that i wanted to do!
i was bummed as the day started. got my finger accidentally bit by my dad's dog while i was giving him treats this morning. and if there's one thing u should know about me, i get very queasy at the sight of blood, especially my own. but thanks to my hubby and my puppies, i got up (eventually) and did this portrait that i couldn't find the time to do before. and even though i'm typing slower now with my busted pointer finger, seeing the final product has salvaged the day. =)
did this portrait on Illustrator. why red, u ask? cuz it's my favorite color. plus i wanted to do something fun and unique where most other dog portraits fail to do for me. and since she's named after Superman's dog (thanx to theFranchize), i wanted to keep it red, blue and yellow.
though in the comic book world it doesn't make sense for her to be "saying" her own name, i rather like it.
PLUS i finally learned how to make these halftones, thanks to the power of the internet! just google "how to make a halftone in illustrator" and ur golden!
now i just gotta wait for a good Groupon or Living Social deal for large canvas prints again and i'm turning this into a big one like my other dog's portrait! (except no 4-color Warhol thingy.)
below is the picture i used to make it. it's my favorite picture of her cuz she's so happy in it! (yes she has on a shirt - don't judge me!)

I love the halftone... I gotta look that up! So instead of Warhol, you went Lichtenstein!!
What ever happened to your fave color being yellow? heehee... I know growing up, my favorite color was purple... now it's blue... funny how our tastes change over the years. Or, we just old!
yeah it went from yellow to minty green and red. the red started when i bought my car tho, so it's my car's fault. =P
plus, we just old. KAKAKA
