Glowing

This is my confessional; seven seconds 'til I hit the ground,
but you saved my life...
Now I feel indestructible; so protected when you're around,
yeah, you saved my life...

You make me, you make me feel so incredible...
You and I, you and I – feels unbelievable!
You make it, you make it so undeniable...

A million hearts, you're the only one
who lights it up, like I'm glowing in the dark!
A million hearts, you're the only one
who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark!

This is my confessional; seven seconds 'til I hit the ground,

You make it, you make it so undeniable...

A million hearts, you're the only one
who lights it up, like I'm glowing in the dark!
A million hearts, you're the only one
who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark!

A million hearts, you're the only one
who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark!

Nikki Williams, Glowing

At the time this wallpaper was conceived, I was running low on motivation, especially when it comes to trying to finish up a piece you have planned but don't really know how you could be able to further approach it and go in the right direction. That's when "Glowing" came in - like the wallpaper I had mentioned earlier, this one was planned, but it was a lot easier to find which "puzzle pieces" would fit on there. I came back to the circle and the nebula for this one, carrying these elements from a few of my recent deviations - but sooner or later, I might have to bring in something fresh and something new for you guys.

Besides that road block, Omniscient-Duck introduced me to the smudge tool, which definitely helped a lot when it came to blending Twilight Sparkle's silhouette in - props to him for showing me what magic it could do!
