Exactly! I used to throw renders on a nicely made scan and submit as it was. It got a moderate response so I kept doing it. But then I transitioned into making my own background. I mean, srsly! I made a gothic cathedral out of nothing but brushes of water and the gothic brushes from Obsidian Dawn (I used a render that was technically a piece of art and didn't know it so it was taken down) and it was perfect so I stuck with that for a little while. Now, I'm nicely balanced using solely scans, meshing two or more scans (haven't done so on this account yet, trying to find the right ones), creating my own backgrounds, and throwing some renders together.
That's one thing I like about being an artist is the endless possibilities. I think an artist shouldn't ever limit themselves. Too often people build a box around themselves creatively and they get too scared to come out and try something new, and that's not healthy. You need to try new things or you'll never develop as an artist.
Hahaha, that they are. I just think some people rely on them too much and don't do much else, not diverse and all. That's what I really like when it comes to artists, they do so many different styles and things and such.
I love this scan. SO LOUD. And you did a great job with the font and the contrast. Sometimes people contrast to a point where it's overwhelming, but as Goldie Lockes said, it's just right <3 in this wall. Love love LOVE IT!

Why thank you! <33 I'm glad I didn't overdo it and that the text looks alright. I love some of the Vocaloid scans because they're so expressive!
