Challenge #8: Non-Dominant Hand - Flora Friends (DCU/Guardians of the Galaxy)

[goss]

Title: Flora Friends
Artist: goss
Rating: PG (partial nudity)
Fandom: DCU, Guardians of the Galaxy
Characters/Pairings: Poison Ivy, Baby Groot
Content Notes: A DCU/MCU crossover. Decided to give Baby Groot a friend. ^__^ I used my left hand to draw with pencil and paint with watercolour. I have never tried to use a paintbrush with my non-dominant hand, so I'm really happy with the way it came out. It did take me twice as long (if not more!) than it usually would though, plus my wrist kept cramping from the unaccustomed movement. Also, my name is signed backwards, because for some reason it's easier for my left hand to write stuff mirror-imaged. :b

I hear you on the extra time taken - it's time consuming trying to control the left hand and make it do what you want, isn't it! I love that you did your signature backwards. :D

My hand kept getting so tired, I had to take lots of breaks in between. I wanted to add a little background with some of Groot's sparkly spores swirling around them, but...hand tired. LOL.

I love the gorgeous colours, and Poison Ivy's slinkiness! Amazing that you can sign in mirror writing - I'm very impressed!

Glad you like the colour choices - I tried to keep it simple since I had limited movement with my hand. :)

Also, I only noticed after I'd finished that the green skin/red hair combo is the same for Gamora in GotG. *g*
