Description A piece I did for my college application portfolio. It was my first time trying out a lot of different things with digital painting, including a somewhat complex background, dramatic lighting, and such. I had a lot of fun coloring it, even if most of it was kind of an experimental pain in the butt. But I'm sort of satisfied with how it came out, aside from my usual complaints about my anatomy and general issues eue;

my first time attempting a background like this 8'D also my first time attempting lighting like this.

as for the name, no, it is not Akikaze the trap. I am merely ahem borrowing his naming sense for "Autumn Wind".

When I had that discussion with you guys I was already more than 70% finished with this 8'D so I decided to finish it anyway. And I decided to consult with my art teacher to see what she thinks about whether or not to include it ;u;
