Artist Statement (what Dan1654 said about their artwork)
What inspired me to make this card is the book series, Dune. I used colored pencils to blend colors and markers to color large open spaces. What was challenging was the writing on it because I had to fit it in a small space. My artwork turned out as I expected, and I feel I did most things well, but I could've made the words straighter.
