Description "Welcome to my shop!
How may I help you?"

For 's colouring contest!

Character lineart by .
Background and colours by me. Done using a combination of Inkscape, Gimp. And a mouse. Ugh.

I am So glad it's over. xD I've been working on this for the past two weeks for several hours per day every day (more on weekdays). I felt like I was going blind. xD On the bright side, I finally figured out soft-shading, but it takes so long that I think I'll stick to vector until I get a tablet. @_@;;

... I really want those free drawings. xD

Thank you! x) Compared to the incredibly elaborate work you did on the hair in your version though, I really can't say mine amounts to much. xD Good luck to you, yours is one of the most amazing colourings! (It's really surprising to see that so many people improved so much just for this contest! )

Whooo, thank you so much! *-* Good luck with you too! (by the way, holy cow, your gallery's Amazing! Your Captain Jack Sparrow looks like a photo, and the fur you did in Little Red Riding Hood is really sweet!)

Looks like it^^
And I guess with that sweet reply from Gasara herself made all the effort worth it

It sure did!
But I'm still hoping to at least get one free drawing from her. I don't like contests usually, but I was really tempted by the prizes.

I just can't get over the background. It is absolutely stunning.
The perspective is brilliantly executed and all of the little details are outstanding.

And, of course, the To the Soul, Beyblade and Dragon Hunter references make me oh-so-happy. Money-hungry Seur-Chong is absolutely perfect.

An absolutely amazing piece, my dear. Thank you so much for all of the effort you put into it.

Phew, glad you liked it! And yes, I consider my willingness to do backgrounds and to personalise each work to what the person likes to be my strong points. Took a helluva long time though, for sure. It doesn't take as long when it's just in vector like I usually do! Hahah!

In any case, thanks for the contest! It was a really good excuse for me to get off my ass and finally look up soft-shading techniques that I never quite got before, and figure out a bunch on my own. I also figured out how to pick shading colors. Somehow I never quite got that one before. >.>
