Here we go, finally finished. I didn't think I'd get it done so quickly! But for some reason I just couldn't stop working on it. This was so much fun to do. It's nice to do something different once in a while :3
I can't actually find the texture I used, nor the reference pictures x: sorry. I only lightly referenced them anyway for the komono.
Also the text should read 'Kaede' and 'The harsh cry of the heron' (which is a book title from the same series). But I used a translator so idk how accurate that will be.

Go read this series!! [link] I mean it! D:

Thank you so much! <3 I really want to get better at drawing humans. They're so difficut for me but somewhat refreshing after constantly drawing animals. I'll keep practicing and maybe once day I'll be proud of them ^^

ahh! beautiful work! human anatomy is definitely improving. she looks more like i imagined her here, but more mature (and happy considering she was a very depressing character, but i would prefer a picture of her smiling than still being miserable anyway)

Thank you c: Yeah, I think she definitely looks more Kaede-like than the sketch. There are aspects of it I'm still not happy with but at least I'm better at drawing humans than I was a year ago ^^

Gorgeous, I love it! The colour scheme is also awesome. And omg her hair!

Although the japanese that's supposed to say 'Kaede' actually says 'Kae' xD It forgot the 'de'...

Thank you! I wanted to use reds and oranges to give it an 'autumn-y' feel. It's the wrong time of the year but oh well
And lolwut, fail xDD I thought it looked a bit short...
