LOL, this is some relatively random CG I decided to throw together with some rejected design proposals (i.e. the three penguins). Not really wanting them to disappear into the myriad of files on my computer, I decided that I might as well do something simple and send them off onto this blog... (^___^")

Solidarity

They were axed as a result of theme inconsistencies with my core design, which was mainly traditional Chinese calligraphy in its style. The problem was not so much how they looked but more that they were simply penguins. Chinese tradition doesn't really have any references to these fine birds that occupy the outer reaches of the Earth and so it didn't click well with the conceptual framework of the design. (^___^")

Nonetheless, there were reasons for their creation and the idea that I was originally hoping to impart through this image was that of solidarity and the family (the project is being undertaken for an institute that supports troubled families). As for the writing to the left, that came about while I was trying to think of what to do with the empty space to the left -- that was when my iPod took matters into its own hands and played ayaka's 手をつなごう to provide me with a suitable solution, LOL (^___^) (Yes, thank you まぁちゃん (and yes, my iPod has a name), I am ever indebted to your attentiveness to my every need, LOL)

Well, it's time to send my flightlessly-winged birds off to their new home in cyberspace: "Good luck and godspeed, my not-quite-feathered friends!" (What do penguins have? It's not feathers... is it?)
