Edit!
Added a watermark cus some fantards are, in fact, retarded enough to use anything that contains their favourite character, which includes this piece of crap.

Edit (September 5th 2007)

Comments have been disabled cus I don't want anymore comments from people who say they like my art, when actually they only care about the characters I draw fanart of.

--------------------Original comment:


Ok, it's official.

I just can't leave this pic alone. I'm forever going to keep re-doing it in Paint Shop Pro! Editing it, experimenting with it, etc, etc. I won't be able to stop.

I can't believe I didn't realize that after the 3rd edit on this.
This is the 9th.

Time taken:
3 hours and 16 minutes, plus 30 minutes in Paint Shop Pro.

Tools used:
Sketch/drawing,
- HB2 pencil, Ball-point pen.
Paint Shop Pro 9,
Lighten/darken brush - Sunburst - Dodge Brush - Burn Tool - Colour Adjustment Tool - Sharpen/soften Brush - Saturation Brush - AirBrush - Warp Brush - Hue Brush - Target Brush - MS Paint for cutting the edges.

Personal Thoughts:
I refuse to critique myself for once!
Yes, I know the hair is awful and that the shading could really need some wor-shutting up.

What am I supposed to be doing right now:
Do more anatomy practice @_@ But this time I'm gonna draw more difficult poses than this [link]

Me critique no likey.
Lol, feel free to critique anyway.
