Riiiiiight! This is my contribution to ~Kairi-Moon's (from DA) artbook "Secret Colours" and there will be a step-by-step tutorial on how the image was done as well. Many other great artists are in the book too with tutorials about their images. Many different styles and techniques guaranteed! If you are interested you can pre-order the artbook now, either via the official website or write directly to ~Kairi-Moon.
I chose my OC Cherryblossom for the picture; some of you might still know her from my manga-page a long time ago. ^___~ She's the partner of Kurou and more or less a persiflage of goth lolis and otakus (though there's a serious side about her too)... If I ever get around to write the story...
I had a game character design in mind, so I tried to have a more fluffy like dress. Yep, that shadow has a meaning too.
...and I still try to get better at colouring (and all the rest).
Tools: Painter X (from start to finish... and I just love that software!) ^^
Time: is it that important?
