Holly worked hard, changed her eating habits, and lost a lot of weight for her efforts... but not everyone was pleased with the results.......
I decided to go with something positive for this week's challenge, because let's face it, nobody really likes losing or getting lost!! My full time job is in product development for a women's home fitness equipment company, & I guess I'm automatically programmed to subconsciously think "weight" when I see the word "lost!" I even put our Empower brand dumbbells in the picture! (Damn, I've got to learn to leave work AT WORK!!)
This one was an experiment with layers. I put each element on a separate layer, & played around. A lesson learned for sure! Kind of rushed the background, but you get the idea....
Anyway, as always, I appreciate your visits, & your comments!
Ha. Yeah, some guys like their women with lots of meat on their bones. Of course, it looks like one of them is okay with the new look, if ya know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteShe's looking good (and so chirpy...)! Layers are definitely the way to go - I use heaps of layers when I'm working on an illo. Love Mr google eyes in the background with his tongue hanging out... :)
ReplyDeleteThink maybe a bit of weight suits hippos.
ReplyDeleteReally like your positive take on the topic, great expressions :)
ReplyDeletevery funny!
ReplyDeleteGreat expressions in this. Fun viewpoint on the theme.
ReplyDeleteFun illustration, and great colors!
ReplyDeletePlaying with layers is addictive, I think. So many possibilities...
So funny! It fits perfectly but that kind of lost didn't occur to me at all! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteGood interpretation of lost...very timely! We need more losers ;) Fun, colorful illo!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh this made me totally laugh! I think it looks great! and it works! :D work it workin it! hee hee.
ReplyDeleteweight is an interesting thing to lose; in different eras weight was seen a positive and the supermodel look was an indication of poverty, sickness and death... I think however, that exercise was most always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteshe's on the right track.

Ha! The expressions of the other hippos is perfect, Mit! I think this is a great piece..weightloss..ugh...it's so hard to lose a few pounds, but great for Holly for persevering! Wonderful illo!
ReplyDeleteShe's very cute :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the expressions on the other hippos faces. I think the one on the left is another lady and she is really jealous of Holly.
