Description
This piece is dedicated to my best friend =MiissRowena , for that her Birthday is coming up on July 1st. This almost marks as a celebration for Lumina and Sahara's first anniversary, dating back to June 21st.
Another importance is the progress that I've made throughout my about 1+ year of digital drawing with my tablet. I could remember back then when drawing was a constant struggle, and I would never be proud with what I've done. Of course, I might still have some of the same mindset, but this just comes to show that compared to my last years piece, this is such far of an improvement that I can finally realize right now. Thank you very much for your constant encouragement and support to keep on convincing me to never give up, and to always strive my best!
Happy Birthday, Rowie~!

Thank you very much. It's definitely worth to say I guess a lot changes over time, but in the end what matters is the improvement. I've gotten opinions of people that like both versions of the piece, with one having more harmonized colours and the other being just... standard.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I mean, you're so awesome, I just had to dedicate such a masterpiece to just you, as a thanks for the help from my art progress and everything else the past year. Glad to hear that you've had an amazing birthday, and that it's nice to see Lumina and Sahara return after a long hiatus.
