Finally done! I had so much fun with this ^^ And experimented multiple stuff i had in mind!! Phew! Nothing better than the relief after doing a satisfying job

Actually, this was a geisha character. Or at least i tried to make one Ironicly, i realised how little i knew about geisha, while making this piece i needed to make some research. I'll play a little more on this one, i want to try a more traditional drawing look... I may make a few couple of wallpapers too while i'm at it, who knows

Meet Manami, depending on the kanji it means either;
愛美 ~ 愛 (mana) "love, affection" combined with 美 (mi) "beautiful"
愛海 ~ 愛 (mana) "love, affection" combined with 海 (mi) "sea, ocean".
Taken from here >> [link]

Her real name is Sasaki Hotaru, that's why there are fireflies around

I'll take my time and rant here like forever I tried vectorart, and to be honest i sticked up with it until i started adding pattern on her kimono... After that, it became half cg and remained half vector My favourite parts are..... Everything alltogether!! Well, actually i love head and kimono patterns more than the rest The hairpin is my creation. And i really want a hairpin like that That birdie turned out really sweet and made an original composition. Though i bet it must be something really fragile to handle :/ I could break it's wings next second i get my hands on it -__-;

Before anyone asks, those patterns on border are premade brushs, i didn't make them myself But i assure you, other than those everything is handmade XP

Finally, here is the detail shot!! >> [link] << Be sure to take a close look Oh yes, print don't have watermark over it ^^
