Description Hello all you lovely peoples. :3 I have been slaving away at this picture, as it is a strange pose, I hate doing reflections, it neerly killed off at least three of my prismacolor colored pencils, I'm like - nine months late on giving this to my friend, and it's been practically begging me to color it since I got the outline done at 3:00AM ... today ... so yes. Slavery.

This is the lovely Kristine - the main character of a comic called "One Day You'll Meet Him" by She has a different reflection because, if you read the story - you'll find that she has two very different lives. o.0 Heh, so I drew this and I'm very happy with how it turned out. :3

Again Rei - I'm so sorry it took me nine months to get this to you -_= *mutters boarderline things at horrible memory* And I hope you like it :3 I worked very diligently and hard for you ^^ Your second piece of fan art is DONE! Wheee!

wow! Thank you so much! ^^
This was drawn with Prismacolor Colored Pencils, but the real magic happens with the Colorless Blender. It really just makes everything look smooth and all the colors pop. After I scanned it into my computer, I edited the mirror refelection with a 'color overlay' and added a slight blue sheen to make it look like a mirror. Or, well, hopefully it looks like a mirror o.0 Then I blended through the imperfections to make her glow. ^^ This was all done in GIMP since I can't afford nice programs like Photoshop or CS3 *sigh*

But I'm so glad you like her! I think this is one of the nicest comments I have ever recieved ^^ Thank you!

I refuse to belive that was the nicest comments you've had! That isn't possible!!
I may try out your colouring technique if i manage to understand how to use my pc...
BTW, Your welcome!

lol - well I don't get many comments like yours. In fact, people like to fave then run off without commenting a lot more. Eh, oh well. ^^

GIMP is a free program you should be able to download off the internet - best of luck with your drawing!

The colors are the magic work of Prismacolor Pencils and the Colorless Blender! But I'm very happy that you like it :3

This is also one of my favorite pieces

a very awesome picture and very clearly coloured you lineart is also just great. A great amount of effort seemed to have gone into this picture and you should be proud to know that it was worth and you have produced a very cool and moving picture.

Wow!!! All your hard work definitely paid off. A very beautiful picture and I really think you did the reflecting the pose thing very well.

Really pretty. I love her expression.

Thank you so much! Yes - I'm definitely very proud of this one. I'm thinking that I'll probably replace my 'Freak' picture as my display DVA once it's rotated out of my top four :3

Glad you like it ^^

BlackPixiDust In reply to reirei18 [2008-05-23 20:13:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh my gosh I'm so happy that you like her as much as I do XD I'm glad it was worth the wait to because, well, it was a loooooong wait *laughs*

Yay! You're so welcome. I've loved your art style for a long time - especially the way you draw hair :3 Which might be the reason why I practically screamed when you offered me a request. But we'll call it 'squealing loudly' okay? Haha! For abot ten minutes all I could say was "Oh my gosh XDDD" ... aparently I have a lack of vocabulary when I'm excited - but what a thing to wake up to! 8D

I'm kind of debating between three of my favorite girl characters of mine ... so I'll let you know once I decide. :3 THANK YOU SO MUCH! *tackleglompsqueezehug*

This is real nice. Like, REAL REAAL nice <333
I love how you did the ribbons and whatnot <3 Very pretty.

BlackPixiDust In reply to StormOfInsanity [2008-05-23 04:04:55 +0000 UTC]

Well the design (including the ribbons) is all Rei's work - not mine. I mearly make a weak attempt to do it justice XD So you can thank her for the ribbons XD But I had a ton of fun coloring it though at first .. I wasn't sure at all what color to use. I thought maybe pink (a typical princess color) then perhaps blue (because she'sdrawn in a blue outfit for when she goes on dates) but then the picture felt really nutral and cold... so I brightened it up with redishness! Yay! So there's the story that you didn't really want to know but know anyways XD

THANK YOU (as always :3)
