One of my two pieces for Pretty In Pink, a Vocaloid spring charity zine. At the time of production, I was getting really into using Utau and exploring characters I'd never heard of before, and I got really attached to Gekiyaku, so i figured I'd represent her for the project. This artwork was released as a promotional coloring page for the project, so I focused on cramming as much detail as I could in the lineart. While I like how the background and how the two's outfits came out, I'm very unsatisfied with how saturated the lower portion of the drawing came out. I feel like I can do much better than this --- but alas, I should probably move on.
