Artist's Comments

This took too friggin' long to make. Work was constantly in the way, errands pushed deadlines further back, and I can get reeeal lazy. This piece delves more into the refinement of what I did with TimidKimono: faint tone differences, minimal gradients, funky reference selections. ;)

My wrist is a loose bag of pebbles; I'm so not doing any vectors anytime soon. :p

Edit: Color tweak to the skirt and tie, needs a deeper black. Shadows on leggings and armwarmers. More noticeable nailcolor sheen. Title text now slightly bigger.

Nice work! Excellent style. However, I'd also like to point out how detailed you made this. Must have taken some time :P Quite nice in general.

Though, I will say that I would have added a very small, shiny highlight to the nails. Heh, I'm sure weird one to notice that, I know.

If I were to add all the hours I put into making this, it would probably not be that long. I just didn't have as much time as before to do deviations. But what took REALLY long were the pink stockings. Those aren't just criss-crossed lines, no-sirey, they're shapes! Obsessive-compulsiveness kicked in, I guess. :)

There IS a highlight on the nailpolish, although I think I didn't make it that bright or noticeable; nail color was one of the last tweaks I did last night, and I was getting groggy. I might just take your advice on the shinier nails...

Thanks for the insight! :thumbsup:

Oh man! That's what I was thinking! "That doesn't look like a texture fill..."

Excellent job at being so patient, if anything. :P
