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 Daily DeviationGiven 2008-02-18+Dealer of Dreams+ by *Lunaris-Eclipse captivates with bold silky colors and jumps to life in a sly and charming way!

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.

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

Don't knock on death's door...ring the doorbell and run. He hates that.
Your colors are so rich and bold, I just want to touch things in the picture and feel them.
