Description The original lineart is here: [link]

GAWD, THIS TOOK FOREVER!!! I'M FINALLY DONE!!! I DONT EVEN KNOW IF THIS BELONGS IN ANIME OR NOT BECAUSE ITS A FAIRY AND I COULD PUT IT IN FANTASY AND I HATE THAT I MADE THE WINGS RAINBOWED AND I USED THE TECHNIQUE THING ON THE WINGS AND THE BG IS CRAPPY BECAUSE I SUCK AT PAINTING WITH WATERCOLOR AND... AND... <~~~EDIT: Okay, I know that because I stuck this in my description, EVERYONE thinks I painted this... well, I DIDN'T PAINT THIS. Only the BACKGROUND was painted. The rest is all marker. Just scroll down and look at the "Materials Used" thing and stop telling me how good at watercolors I am!!! D:

lol, I'm done.

Euh. What to say about this one. Hmmm... Once again I was completely stumped on the colors. I was inspired by =luciole , =Crysenna and =augest while doing this. ^^ I did a lot of new things such as using the white ink productively, make rainbows, and adjust gamma correctly. ^^ I spent 2 days coloring it and I kept getting bored with it... XD I like the turnout.. sorta. Only I hate the BG. ;_; well, since I can't think of anythng else, enjoy!

MATERIALS USED: Micron 08 black inking pen, watercolor brush markers, watercolors, white calligraphy ink, patience, priase, criticism... and PSP X for editing.

TIME TAKEN: Over 2 hours. And over a span of 2 days.Meh. That's pretty long for me.

EDIT: lol, here's what it looked like without the BG, watermarked to death: [link] It was for when I asked people what color it should be. The majority said magenta... but then someone said green and I was already finished. Now I'm kicking myself in the arse because green would look SO MUCH BETTER... and I can't go mack and fix it now...

EDIT-EDIT: Holy crud! This picture was chosen as a $Hand Picked Best on MangaRevolution!!! I thought I'd never get one! Only the awesome artists do! Thank you, MR!!!

EDIT-EDIT-EDIT: Yo!!! Check out =senbo-sama 's awesome coloring job for the lineart!!! [link] <~~~Beautiful CG'ing!!! Take a look, everyone!

Her dress reminds me of the elderly fairy woman who was the girl's mentor from Ferngully. I know, ya probably have no idea what I'm talking about. XD

I love the smiley you just used! XD Cute!
And yeah, it's not a popular movie I guess. Or maybe it's just old?
