Backgrounds make me sad.

Alright - so my latest art project (im dishing them out lately) was to make my own original character Matilda, and her cat Squeaky...into a digital painting.
I had tried this before with horrific results :P No, I mean really - scary bizarre results.
But I think this time I did her a bit more justice. I love how alot of people cultivate their own OC - I wanted to do the same with one of my favorites.
I hope you all like her!

Matilda and Squeaky return!

As for the background well. Its no secret I hate backgrounds. They are frustrating, and alot of time boring. This was my first time painting a tree... theres always got to be a first time right?
For those who need reminding Matilda and Squeaky (her little cat) come from my chibi acrylic painting:

I just realized I forgot her freckles -_- shhhh

Hope youre all having a great weekend!!
