Holy shit I posted something.

Due to a mixture of studies and personal crap, I've lately been tremendously unproductive in terms of art. I haven't posted arse here for ages, I've neglected my webcomic to the point of disgusting myself, and the most notable things I've done lately are doodles on an old notebook I carry to class for that very purpose.
I dub it the "What the fuck" notebook.

So, noticing I'm not going anywhere as far as art quality goes, I decided to go and try to do something a bit better than my usuals, or something. A portrait, maybe.
Looking through my picture folders I found a picture of a friend, ~AyakoYagami , and decided to make the portrait out of it.
Probably should have asked her permission, or at least let her know, but hell. I hope she doesn't mind.

Tried using some largely improvisatory but new (to me) techniques, and I like how it turned out. Nothing too impressive, sure, but to my standards, and considering my current rustiness..
I particularly liked how the hair ended up.
As for the background, I suck at making them, and I didn't feel like leaving it blank, so I played around with some tools and stuff, and that came out. Saved a version without it, but no point to posting the same thing twice, is there?

Done in Painter 8, with a rapidly decaying tablet, the willpower of a thousand suns, and the inspiration and skill of a murderous Koala drop-bear.

Fear my NextWave refference.
