Description This is my final print from OMGcon 2014
I really enjoyed designing this girl's outfit (I used no pre-done patterns for either her socks or her skirt, I drew them completely free-hand). I was surprised at how many people responded to this drawing. It made me happy because I have a lot of personal symbolism mixed into this piece. 

This piece is based on holding onto what you believe in, even when those around you mock you for it. To others it may look impossible, may defy reason, but you can't let go no matter what. You'll keep gripping it with all of your might.

I hope that you enjoy it. ^_^
(I'll start uploading my manga more often now that these prints are done)

I remember you saying that it had a personal meaning, a story close to your heart behind it. I wasn't sure if I should have asked so I didn't but now I know and I like it very much.

I'm glad that you like it. For some reason it was hard to explain things at the con so I thought that I should clarify the meaning here on Da.

Well all the prep tima and lack of sleep made it hard to articulate into words what was in my mind and I imagin that is also what was happening to you and I'm sure others. But still I am glad to know the story behind now.
