The biggest reason why I did this piece is that at the time I wanted to go back to basics and see how far I had come and I also wanted to experiment with a range of different techniques and textures to create a bright and fun illustration using photoshop.
The composition I went for was the clash between harsh and soft/ round and sharp shapes and I thought the representation between fire and water created the basis for an overall interesting and bright image.
