THANKS TO :icondreamillusionist: :icondreamillusionist: :icondreamillusionist: :icondreamillusionist: :icondreamillusionist: :icondreamillusionist: :icondreamillusionist: :icondreamillusionist: FOR BUYING ME SAI!!!!!!!! :worship: :worship: :worship::worship: :worship: :worship::worship: :worship: :worship::worship: :worship: :worship:


I made this wallpaper for myself because I was sick of the sound horizon one :XD: I think that by making wallpapers and using them, its sort of encourages me to work HARDER on the cgs, because I know I'll be seeing it a lot when I use it as a wallpaper :XD:

For this one, I made a very huuuuge change of style and I spent a lot of time on it. I put a texture on EVERYTHING! It's really fun to do ^_^ Except it all has to be done in photoshop since SAI doesn't support some layer options I forgot what they are called (e.g. overlay, but overlay works in SAI). This is the same girl from my cg from last year, [link] but older and pastel-ified :XD: I don't know why she's wearing the same dress. Anyways this is the kind of image I originally wanted to make with the first Lycoris, with almost steampunk metal weird stuff everywhere (inspired by Kadish from URU hehee :love:) but that time it didn't work ^^;

Ahh I started this 2 days after I finished exams but got stuck on it for a long time until I found new inspiration on sheezyart, from an artist called emde. I don't think I've ever spread the work of one cg out for such a long time and actually finishing it! (there are a few that I've started years ago but never finished)

This one is not going to Anime North because I'm slow ^^; Also, I have no idea what people are going to think of it, since it's an experiment in style for me. I hope you all still like it T______T I thought it was really fun to do!

Like my previous cgs, this looked fine until I moved it to my left monitor, where it looks really really PINK. But, on the monitor that I colored it in (which is the one that it's wallpapering right now), it looks more orange than pink ^^;

I think I've ranted for too long :3 thanks for reading/looking!

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, thats why we call it the present. ♥
=Andcetera made my icon. (:

Thank you ^_^ Usually I do all the hair in one or two layers but this time I did it in 7 (1 for each...chunk of hair) :XD: Some people make really nice hair and I think they put the shading on a different layer or something :XD: I want to try that next time :3

I like the colors you chose

You should be happy, there are people who would look at you and hate you out of envy. Treasure what you have....you never know who's looking at you wishing they had what you do.

I love the background! It reminds me of the inner workings of a clock. ^^ But there is ONE thing that I find a little irritating: the dress. It makes her seem unusually short. xD;

:sing: What is this overflowing emotion that can cross over time and capture me? Where now are those people to whom gentleness suits the corners of their eyes? :sing:
