Happy ... birthday ... cptlfrghtr ...
Really though, this was the first attempt I've made at dappled lighting not involving any fancy tricks like duplicating layers and using layer masks ... in fact, essentially all the coloring is on one layer, making this my most traditonal-painting-like piece to date. This also takes the prize for most-characters-in-a-single-painting — at least in recent memory.
Speaking of characters, I decided to draw the Control Data Corporation & Cray-tans (and a special friend) because all but one belong to cptlfrghtr and I tend to neglect them somewhat. Recently he created a few more, so I decided this would be a great time to commit their designs to "paper", so to speak! ^_^
Foreground, left to right:
VSOS-tan, SCOPE and LTSS-tan's daughter... kinda... sorta, still youngish here since this is set in the mid-80s. She's not a good swimmer, hence her fright.
SCOPE-tan, matriarch of the CDC family! I imagine she's kind of stuck in the past style-wise, thus the 60s bikini / sunglasses.
eOS-tan, the second of SCOPE and LTSS-tan's terrible science children. I think she has some Unix genes spliced into her too ... honestly with two mad scientists as parents anything can happen. She's still a little'un here because of the time period.
LTSS-tan, government physicist, mad scientist, wine afficianado (probably) and friends-with-benefits (by which I mean "children") to SCOPE-tan.
NLTSS-tan, The second of LTSS-tan's kids. Momma's girl. Professional Cray-tan figher.
CrTSS-tan, NTLSS-tan's older sister. Gets on better with Cray-1-tan. Wears that labcoat everywhere.
And in the background (left to right):
KRONOS-kun risking mortal injury to go on a picnic with ex-beau MTS-tan
CDC NOS-tan being tormented by Cray 1-tan and her TERRIBLE ICE POWERS. ("It's too hot out! I'll faint otherwise")
Everybody but Cray 1-tan belongs to cptlfrghtr (Cray-tan is Kattlanna's)

MTS-tan: pregnant or totally pregnant? Hmm...
I love the lighting on this. It really gives the picture an extra vibrancy and does a great job of complementing the (correctly flat!) shading. And the strokes are so simple, too, mostly just ovals, which is a fantastic way of approximating the blur of a tree's outline underneath the sun—too many people assume sunlight is perfectly polarized and unidirectional when drawing outdoor scenes.
