Background StoryWIPWhoever made that cake either ran out of candles and had to improvise, or just couldn't read and took them out of the wrong box - "candies" instead of "candles".
What ? You wonder why the candies are shaped like that ? Guess someone got bored with his Clone-A-Willy kit. Maybe better to not overthink it.
Tech CrapWIPAfter 3 different attempts to put the scene into a real environment, I gave up - none of my attempts felt right. My fault for designing the picture with a white background in the first place - I should have done it all at once immediately :[
Toyed with a different style too, to give 'em less anime-ish vibes and make them look a bit more mature too.
Oh... I could add some of my work files too, some were cute and fun *works on it*
