Sorry about level 688. Hold the ironic praise and the mayo. The black cartoon balloon is hideously ugly, and unintentionally so. I recoiled in horror immediately after posting it to Gridcosm, realizing that I'd made a terrible mistake. Too late. Spent futile hours afterwards creating three more squares in an attempt to dilute the purity of the black hole's pure butt-ugliness. Believe it or not, I attempted to make those three squares blendy. And failed, apparently.

Digital art is kinda like rock & roll, seems to me. Learn three cords, a simple military beat, and all of a sudden you think you know everything. ;-)

I must confess, I've got loads to learn about creating digital art.
