Description this is the exact file i sent to the sakuracon ppl ^o^ i hope i get at least 3rd place so i can score those free passes <3 but i also want 1st cuz i wanna know wut it's like to be in the artist's alley.

i'll add a bg to this sumday, cuz it's so plain and borin without one o___o yes. and this was done completely on photoshop with a tablet and mouse. the kimono designs are various origami papers that i scanned in and pasted onto there. so the scraps of paper DID come in handy

hoorah for sakuracon! anyone else goin next year?

*edit* ahahahahaha i get this a lot so i'll write it right here.

no, i DIDN'T notice that her mouth wasn't colored till i submitted this here ; too late tho cuz the i entered in the contest already ahaha. i'll fix it up.... someday XD

Another classic saorimaru; Master of Line... look at the subtlety and beautiful choices of color, the ease of composition, and the magical ingredient of real life and motion these elements conspire to enchant this piece with... Saori ROCKS!!!
