Digital B-day gift

A friend of mine celebrated their birthday last month and due to the fact that he lives in Thailand, I of course couldn't congratulate him in person haha. So I created a birthday card for him in PS instead.

He once told me (a few years ago) that he loves candy.....but I apparently forgot because I asked him once more last month what he would like to have for a birthday present.
We have the kind of friendship where neither age, social status or heritage are important and so I truly value the little time we get to converse online (either by phone or comp hehe).
He'll always be silly Cyder to me haha.
Perhaps someday I get to congratulate him in person and treat him to a meal when I get to visit Thailand again.

Here's the result of my PS & AI work. The lollipop and flowery background are made in Ai and vector symbols found online. The rest is layered and finished up in PS.

An explanation of the nickname Cyderman:

His actual name (nickname in Thai) is Sui. He used an online nicknamed called Suicyder during chat sessions.

And because I was impressed by his guitar playing and singing abilities I decided to call him Cyderman since Superman was a little bit too exaggerating ^^.

I trend to give people nicknames as soon as I meet them. Dunno why I do it, it's a strange habit of mine. It's not meant to be mean......really no pun intended!

This band is a quite popular South-Korean band called CNBlue. They're known all over Asia.

I came to know about them because I've seen the lead vocalist sing in a KDrama when playing the male lead in the drama: "Heart Strings". Haha.... My taste in music is quite eclectic...... But ermm...........at the moment I'm quite into KPOP lol.

Perhaps Suicyder can introduce me to some new popular Thai songs someday. But I guess he's probably busy with keeping his business afloat at the moment considering the flood and all T-T....

I hope no there will be no more casualties and the government will develop a new emergency plan in case of future reprices.

Thai people su su!
