Haha... Hii! Long time no see! Have you all forgotten about me?
Anyways, usually, I don't put this kind of effort into mother's day or my mom's birthday because if I do, the reaction is something along the lines of:

My birthday only reminds me of how old I am!

Shouldn't you celebrate mothers everyday?

You're a gift to me enough as you are!

Just do some extra studying as a gift!
Buuut... this year, my mother's birthday happens to fall exactly on mother's day, so I had to do something! And, it's the first full-coloured picture I've done in a while, so I decided to upload it.
Now... what have I been doing in the time that I was away from dA? A LOT of background practice... I know you can't really tell in this picture, but I've learnt a lot lot lot about composition, colour tones, perspective, depth... and all that. So, hopefully, I will start uploading on a daily basis again.
So, please enjoy this picture, and please appreciate your mom the best you can, always! Not just mother's day, but every day okay?
Btw, the Chinese is just the same as the English... just... in Chinese.
And, that's not me, as you guys know. I have black hair and brown eyes... not brown hair and... purple eyes.
