Description

Eeep. I feel so badly about this.
I finished the sketch for this... over a month ago, and I finished inking and the background in the same day, but then when it came down to shading. I don't know what happened..
For some strange reason, I just couldn't shade it, I don't know why, but whenever I did something, it looked like shit, and then I just couldn't do anything. At all.
Every time I sat down at the computer, I still couldn't work on it, again, no idea why (art block for a single image..? ). Rrg, it was really frustrating too.

But I sat down tonight (about 15 minutes ago), and I said to myself "Youkou. You're going to finish this right now. And it's going to look shitty, but it's going to get done. So shuddup and work."
So I shat up and worked. D: And I'm really sorry, Idess, for the crappy result. I'll try to make it up to you, I really will.
At one point during the shading process I decided I would start over from scratch, but then I couldn't sketch anything. Yeesh, it was so vexing.
And the background didn't turn out how I'd hoped either. Yeesh. Mrrrrr...

BUT. I've always wanted to draw this character. |D It frustrates me even more that it was so hard for me to do.

So, sorry for taking so long Idess, and sorry for the less than satisfactory result. I will make it up to you.


And apologies to viewers for the long, agonizing rant. xD I try not to rant too much in my submission's descriptions. But this time, I just had to.

But, really, do check out her awesome half: [link]

Squee!
Firstly, I don't think it's bad at all! I love the feeling that I get from all of your art, and this one is no exception! The blue in the background and the wind are so very beautiful, even if you didn't put a lot of effort into it. It seems to fit perfectly.
And Tsaark was right about the expression; so intense! It definately grabs the eye's attention n.n Idess looks spectacular in your paintery style.
I LURVE IT! And believe me, the trade isn't late at all! I'm known for taking months on my own art and it was a miracle I got your half done so quickly XD
Thanks so much for doing the trade with me! It was so much fun 8D
