Wow, that's so cool! The paper, the bottle, it's all so delicate. And the animation is awesome! I love the things you choose to illustrate.

Thanks, Rex! ♥

WILD. How creative!

[gnatkip]

Hee! Thank you, schnuggleme! :D

So I open the link, look at the image, and I see a bottle of ink and some blackish writing, and think, Huh? That's not color-changing - it's all the same color! Which leads to a big double take when I realize what you've done. Well done! Subtle and magical, both.

Thank you! My original sketch sort of yelled at me, and then I wondered if I went too far in the other direction. :)

Fantastic! At first I was all 'but it's not changing colour!' then I realised it was wonderfully subtle! Awesomeness!! :~D

[gnatkip]

Thank you so much! Heh, you're the second person to be confused, so I edited in a link to the glaringly neon first draft. Oops, maybe I could've been a little LESS subtle. ;)

I find the colour change a bit too subtle. But otherwise beautiful, and a great idea. The way you use ArtRage is lovely.

Ah, that's what I was afraid of! Also, I just this second realized that this is one of those times when I ought to have taken into consideration the effect that different monitors can have.

Thank you! :D
