YAY! My first finished piece of art in 2-3 years!!! Don't ask how this happened with that much lack of practice. I don't know. I need to improve most certainly (this took way too long for it's own good) plus I need to try more styles and branch out. But it's good for my first.. fresh start/first picture of the rest of my life. ^^

Anyways, this pretty thing is Count D. It's a fan art. I do not own him! His bat-rabit thing is Q-Chan!
Count D is MALE. Not female. He's from my favourite manga "PetShop of Horrors" by the talented Matsuri Akino.

Here is Count D in his original form:
Manga
Anime

Also, this picture exists thanks to Jupebox from GaiaOnline. I did a little art auction and she was one of the winners. She requested I draw Count D.. which blew my mind seeing as he is coincidentally one of my favourite characters. So this is a gift for her. :3

Done in photoshop CS2 with a million layers and a lot of time experimenting. But I learned a lot with this.. so hopefully my next picture will not take so very long.

For anyone curious, the line art is HERE.
I traded the curtain tassels for the lace. I don't know why.. I just had an urge to attempt lace for the first time.

No ref. I had a ref for one rose, but then scrapped it and did everything myself, as the ref didn't help me for this picture. Although it gave me a better idea on how to handle light on the flower petals. (Maybe I just suck at finding good ref.. ^^)

Long description indeed. I'm just thrilled I finished something. <3

sdfjkjfkdjflsjlfdjsaaaa;;;;;

The amount of pixel money paid for this DOES NOT EQUAL the awesomeness you supplied in return. D:

Thank you SO MUCH for drawing D for me. The time you put into this picture shows and it blows my mind. <3

Good luck with future endeavors! I'll have to stalk you and see about snagging more prettiness from you some time. :ninja:

This is amazing!
D is one of my favourite characters also, and you captured him really well.
I really like the colours you used and the softness of the shading. Q-chan looks really cute too :)

I love it! It came out so beautifully.
Your colors are so rich and bold, I just want to touch things in the picture and feel them.
