🍩☕🍂🍁🎃 Pumpkin Spice Pilots! 🎃🍁🍂☕🍩

Over the summer, I was thinking about creating a new Fall piece to tie-in with the upcoming season. I wanted to draw Della in her alternate outfit again (the painting Dewey found in the garage) to go with LP's chauffeur outfit since those colors fell in line with fall very nicely. I love trying out all the pumpkin spice flavored things when Fall hits. And pairing it up with one of my favorite ships? The perfect idea! This was something I was definitely going to draw! But then the battery issue with my laptop came up and wrecked my plans...😑 I was so fixated on what I couldn't do, that it distracted me from at least getting the sketches done traditionally. Once I got ahold of another laptop to use in the meantime, I was able to settle down and get to it. The newer laptop couldn't read my Clip Studio paint CD, so I tried to use another program. Then I remembered it lacked the tools I needed. I tried another one and it kept freezing on me. After that, I gave up and just had to wait until my laptop was fixed. Once it was, I had to get the Halloween piece out of the way. THEN I got absorbed into working on things for this blog and started to contemplate on whether it was even worth doing now that it's December. But Fall does extend into this month...and I don't feel like holding it off until next year...might as well keep going. 🤷🏾‍♀️

(Though I did have to axe the bonus content I intended to go along with it...maybe that'll be the thing I get to next year...)

Soooo, yeah, as you can tell, this took quite some time to finish and now it's more of a farewell to fall than anything. 😂😓 I didn't originally have the pink sunset tint in mind, but it felt like it needed a bit more pizazz. ✨ The flat color version looked kinda boring by itself...I almost didn't add the text, but there was so much empty space in the tree area. Felt like something needed to go there. And I guess the Morning Joe coffee shop was testing out a new seating arrangement at the time this took place. 😆...Or maybe it's a different location with suspiciously similar trees? Take your pick, lol 

While I do like how this piece turned out, I'm not sure if I'm all that satisfied with it. 😅 There's still some things I feel a little weird about...I feel like I could have done the hands better...bah, I'm tired of working on this drawing, lmayo. If it really continues to bother me, maybe I'll come back to it later.

Anyway, I'm hoping to have something more Winter-oriented later this month. Maybe something New Year-ish in January too. 🤔

Here's an alternate version with Della's normal colors:

inb4 someone asks me about the snake, lol

inb4 someone says "i don't like this ship"

my brother in christ i did not specifically ask for your opinion

i'm well-aware of how people don't like this ship, i'm looking for those who do

you don't HAVE to like it, but you don't have to tell me either

inb4 i delete and block
