+vive l'orange+

my submission for the contest.

the theme was to personify a color, so I went for one of my favorites (since I figured not many would do orange, anyway). plus it seems like she's an underappreciated color nowadays, so I'm making a tribute to her now. vive l'orange!

surprisingly, the hardest part of this picture wasn't her dress--it was the background. as you might notice, I never get around to going as far as bgs, but now...yeah, since it's contest-material I decided I should go full-out. I had to fill that white space SOMEHOW, and voila-- my sad excuse for a catchy backdrop. xD way to go me...

and, yes, she is taking care of a baby phoenix which lives with her. judging by the colors, I thought that would be appropriate.

and can I you tell I love gerbera daisies? yeah...I love gerbera daisies.
