The reason that I chose to paint these 'Squiddles' on my card was simply because I thought they were just adorable. You see, I read an online interactive web comic called Homestuck. The colorful squids, according to Homestuck, are from a popular children's television show, and are sold as plushies and other forms of merchandise. When Squiddles first came to my mind after a lack of ideas, I knew they would be perfect to paint.

Problems, or more rather things that were difficult in the process of painting this poster, was actually drawing the Squiddles themselves.They had to be accurately drawn, of course,but then they had to be in scaled size with each other. However, this was made easier, as I used a sample Squiddles poster for reference.

I can't say for myself if I would change anything about the poster, except to make it on a more durable, lasting piece of paper, such as card-stock or some other material where it would not crinkle when it is met with paint. Maybe another thing I would possibly change would be the background. Just leaving it plain old pink seems rather boring now that I look back on it, however I did have to sacrifice some detail due to lack of time (in thanks to my first project for setting me behind). But all together, I love this piece of artwork, purely because I think it captures the adorableness of the Squiddles and their cute personalities.
