Name: Winter in the Wastelands Banner
Story: Starfall
Colors: Beet Red #25 (Practice makes perfect)
Supplies and Styles: Illustration + Graffiti (April Food Challenge) + Fingerpainting
Word Count: N/A
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
Notes: 1317, the Wastelands; Leaira Modelen, Marran Delver. (Mod. notes for Illustration says that Mood Boards, Collages & similar graphics editing is allowed, so hopefully these two banners will count! "Practice makes perfect" because I lost my ancient free software in getting a new PC recently and everything involving the more up to date photo-editing software I have now just makes me cry tears of blood, but I decided to have a go at something like this and not stop until I got something half decent and a better idea of the new software's quirks.)
Summary: A graphics edit (collage/cover-style) banner for the North Fort story arc. There are two, because the first one fits what I was aiming for and the mood of the arc much better, but I rather love the way the colours worked out on the second version.
