Google's existence

EDIT 09/28/13: Apparently this was featured on FB or something? Which is why I'm getting so many more messages? I REALLY appreciate all the feedback, it's great! I will get to it soon, but please please check out my other artwork? This is SO old, from back when I was in high school, so it is nowhere near my current skill set XD Thanks everyone!

Thanks for your support, guys, but I didn't reach the finals. :3 I think the others with more technical skill deserved it anyway. I whipped this up pretty quick and I think it got what it deserved.

But srsly, why so many favs? D:

This was my entry for Google's contest, "Doodle 4 Google"
www.google.com/doodle4google/

My art teacher asked me if I was interested, so I gave it a shot. The theme is "What if?", so I chose, "What if Google didn't exist?". I was having trouble painting the hand, so I took a picture of my own and manipulated it in. It looks better this way...

I honestly hope I at least get in the finals. I don't know if I will, but it'd be really nice. ><

I'm kind of hoping for that grand prize scholarship, even, so I have a good start for going to college. As it looks now I don't have much funds.

Just a new laptop would be nice too though. XD

Anyway, I figured I'd submit something. Sorry for the lack of art recently, guys. I just can't bring myself to finish anything.
