As promised a Hallow's End themed piece, that surprisingly got done before the event ends!

I had wanted to complete this piece by the first day of Hallow's End, that clearly didn't happen. Typical me, I kept nitpicking little things here and there. My worst nitpick was surprisingly Pete's hair, LOL!! As mentioned before, this chick remains an extremely slow artist. Wishing that I could be like all the artists here on DA and Twitter, popping out beautiful art pieces left and right. Even when younger, I'd devote days to a single art piece, if not weeks.

Maybe that extra pickiness with this one is the fact that Halloween has always been and still is my favorite holiday? Like with all holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc.), I really don't get to celebrate All Hallows' Eve anymore. My genuine love for Halloween comes from the fact that it is the one time of year I get to dress-up and be anyone but myself. At least there is still my yearly Halloween tradition of collecting a black cat-themed item.

There is no fancy story with this piece. Just Pete and Phe having a secret rendezvous during their favorite time of year, as an unnoticed Mudwiggle helps himself to some tasty treats. Pixel: Worm Candy Corn Pepe also literally "ninjaed" his way into the piece taking Cap'n Crackers place for this one. Don't worry, Cap'n Crackers is sure to make another appearance before too long. ;)

We have some firsts for me with this one too. Those would be, the nighttime starry sky and flames! Making stars is thanks to Belvane and her wonderful Twitter streams. If it wasn't for her, I definitely wouldn't learn Blender as quickly. I learned how to make the candle flames from spheres after watching an online tutorial, much easier than expected too!
