Description
Pencil, coloured pencil and ink! Sweet, glorious ink! Colour saturation rescued from my scanner by CS2.My reference: [link]
I have to admit. I had apprehensions as to how this one would turn out. Miku didn't have a ton on her. Poor thing doesn't even have a name! But as Miku and I talked about her I came to see her as the Yin to my own devil character's yang. Which made this whole thing certainly more fun than I had expected. She's a sweet natured angel, born cursed to look like a demon and constantly judged by her appearance. On the other hand, I have my Xabat, who looks the part of the angel but has a dark little heart. Of course she's depressed!
Hope you all enjoy!

Very pretty. But so simple and North American, don't you think?
Something like Chandrakanta, sounds old, steeped in tradition, angelic. It means Love of the Moon, and can be shortened to Chandra, or Kanta. Just a suggestion. You can take it or leave it.

She's so beautiful! I love the soft light colours you used on her it does go with her softer personality as yin

Oh my! I hadn't thought of that, as this was an AT and I was just trying to do my partner's character some justice. That's so funny... I almost want to do an opposite of this...
Glad you like it, sleyf!

love the expression, you capture her loneliness/ sadness so well, and I love how you coloring her hair too, and the sock, wish I have one like that
if I may ask, isn't her head a little too big for her body? but maybe it because the volume of her hair... after all, it's still lovely, good job!

Yeah, I can't take credit for the clothes. I left them relatively unchanged from the original.
Maybe it is a bit. I went over board on the fullness of her hair, now that you mention it. I just liked where the pencil was taking me and stopped thinking about proportions. Ooops!

Thanks! Colouring is my weak spot, but as this was an art trade I figured no time like the present to practice, practice, practice!
