I felt all weird using that title again. Anathema is my oldest story, on one of my many... many backburners. I have my own kitchen made primarily of stoves for this reason, you know.
: D ...Anyway.
I tried traditional again, after finding a fuckton of colored pencil colored pieces from my Gaia-Commission crazy days. It's damn sad I practically ONLY devoted my color pencil works to Gaia commissions or fanart of manga/anime I didn't even really care for. 6__9 My inking is a little rusty though. I also used a slightly different process from sketch to final ink, and I think it'll help me a lot.
I was gonna submit this one WITH her evil twin/half, Tsuta, who is getting a revamp too. Black and blue, still. I haven't finished it. however. I can't decide what to do for her "ebil demon!!1one!!1!!" parts. Or if she'll have them at all. 8T
Anyway... again. Aibi is... My old animu-persona. She's getting yet another makeover, even more so than the one I did back in January- which I won't link, for nudity and "eh ew" reasons.
- Her hair is white, but the shading is a pastel green. (It's not quite as obvious when you're doing it traditionally.)
- Her eyes are both green now, and so is her little cheek-mark.
- Halo is silver instead of gold, and quite dingy.
- Oh! She doesn't have glasses anymore, either! O': Neither of them do! They never NEEDED glasses in the first place, their vision was always fine. I only added them in the first place because they were idealized-personas of myself @ 15.
I like it better when the schemes match on the character themselves. She looks a LOT less like a sue. For being an angel, that is. BD
It's okay if you have no idea wtf I'm talking about. I don't really care enough to explain their loophole riddled backstory. =u=
Enjoy the chibi?

Bad sis! *smacks hand* Not dumb product of adolescence. "Maturing concept" created during adolescence.
Much better.
I like her this way.
Also, she's cute

I really like that coloring method on her hair and dress. It suggests the color, rather than pushing it to the forefront. Its subtle.
