Kiss of the Crimson Moon

Edit:  Changed her face a teensy bit.  Didn't really do much other than that to this one, added a shadow, changed her nose, and fixed a skewed eye... yep I did that a lot back when i drew this.  LOL minor adjustment for print purposes.

originally this picture was drawn for Lasaro so its still dedicated to her ^^ Its original title was imperfect angel but somehow that title no longer suits it. Blah blah blah read on for more boring stuff XD;

MAN! Talk about death by CG! I've been working on this picture practically non stop over the last 3 days and thats just the cg portion....with very few breaks. The lineart's been around for a while but this puppy took forever to ink too.

Honestly it was one of those works I was waiting until the right moment of inspiration before I worked on it farther, and a few days ago it just HIT me...now was the time.

What I learned from this picture: I HATE to soft shade...but I do not COMPLETELY fail at it...even still its got hints of the cel shading hiding in there too. I also learned how to make kick ass crimson water. I have another picture I need to use my water technique on.

SO YEAH my back hurts, my head hurts, my body aches all over and I'm sleep deprived. I think I can attribute it all to this but at the very least ^^ I'm DAMN proud of it! So to everyone who comments and faves THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! I hope you all like it!
