There's a long, shitty story behind this one.

It was birthday. I didn't know what to get her, and she was like "just my name on a piece of paper would make me happy! Or doodle me something, like a hot guy or Bob."

I went with Bob. We joked briefly about whether these were mutually exclusive (hot and Bob).
I had a sketch I'd intended to CG cel-style, since I'm not exactly the best at CG and that's all I know how to do and I don't even do that too well. OpenCanvas is my CG program of choice for actual coloring/digital painting, and I was surprised by what I was getting.

I had no idea I could produce what I was producing. I was really excited about it. The face was difficult, as were the skintones - I switched out two heads and about eight different color combinations. I did the hair twice. I did the eyes twice, and they were still wrong. All in all, because of my work schedule it took a good three weeks to get to that point, spending just about every free hour I had on it.

I would have gone on to correct those problems if it weren't for the fact that the .psd file corrupted. Suffice to say I was pretty much crushed. I guess that's kind of lame, but whatever.

I think I'm just going to leave it as it is and move on. Maybe I'll do it better next time anyway.
