This is my part of the trade with :iconjc2thew: , and now for the long-winded story behind this piece:

We had to compose a picture including one of each other's character, a musical instrument (flute), a wild animal, and interesting backdrop with light colors.
I remember seeing images of modern graphic designs with a sort of central focus/weight and having abstract patterns and images explode and swirl out of this focus. So I decided to take my try at it.
The photoshop backdrop/colors must have taken the most time. I went for my usual major-use of white, and tried out a lot different styles and color matching, but finally, this variation of gold and greenish gold settles best.

PS. I'm quite content with its overall composition, but when taking a look at what JC2theW had done... Gosh, he put A LOT of effort into it; wish I could do more on this side too.

Character is Pfhillip-Par and is the copyrighted concept of :iconjc2thew:

It's Pfhillip-Par!!!!! :excited: great work. I really dig the gold circles there with the wavy designs coming from them. Are they supposed to be keys from the flute??

And I love the whimsical feel to this. And it does look great! :)

and sorry, but I'm pretty anal, but could you mention in your description about Pfhillip-Par belonging to me? it's a copyright issue thing....

Yes, the gold circles are what's known as pointed-arm keys with engravings, mostly only used in the advanced-student/professional flute range.
Sure, I'll add the (c) in the description ASAP.

Thanks; the linear patterns are really an essential part of this picture.
