kjafhugchjwhkkjhhuj daaarn water-coloring is suuuure a pain on the ass.

I used watercolor tutorial but because I was using digital tools, the result is far more... half-assed than I intended to. And I draw *nheira ! It's like, blasphemy over blasphemy!!! LOL

Just don't kill me, okay, Nheira-sama? And... I can't speak Japanese, but my friend helped me with the Japanese phrase, I'm sorry if it's wrong let's blame him instead heheh

Actually I want to draw something happy/silly featuring Gadara for White Day, but I'm so terribly busy.... maybe I should save it for next year... =.=a

----------

Ahem. Time to get serious.

I feel very sad hearing about earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and other countries. I hope everyone's okay....

Does anyone know about Aceh tsunami?
I lost my dear auntie, in that horrible disaster. And I can't help but remembering her as I saw news on TV today. I made this pic to show my condolence to her, to Aceh, to Japan, to every country, everyone.

Let's pray for Japan. Let's pray for everyone.


ps:
Some of you may wonder why I draw lily instead of sakura. I know sakura = Japan, but actually if you see lily Tarot cards, it represents vurnerability, also health, and provision. That's the best description for Japan and other pacific countries today, I think.

okay lily also symbolizes masculine form of beauty and sexyness but it's just additional hehehe *slaps*

Half-assed? What are you saying, this is so lovely! <333

It even looks quite like him, despite being in a manga-ish style :> which is pretty neat. And the flowers look very beautiful and delicate.

If you don't mind me asking, what program did you use to color this?
