Couldn't sleep, so i got up and turned on the computer. which had me realize that keeping this wall on my computer is making me nervous. -__- there are undoubtedly flaws people can pick on, but i've decided to submit.

anyway, short story shorter, i made this because i needed an "excuse" to procrastinate homework on a couple of school nights. and i wanted to practice vectoring. i feel like i haven't managed to make a step forward in ages. besides, in occasional controlled doses, craziness is good for you!

i learned that close-ups don't go exceptionally well with my vectoring style... i ended up being unable to do the hair the way i normally do (in this detailed style) due to how thick the majority of strands must be. stiff hair? another problem. and i should seriously plan out a face before sticking everything in. *kicks myself*

except for the iris, i vectored and drew everything at 100%. no zoom. LOL! i did that because i didn't want to spend most of my time scrolling all over the place. i had to scroll around enough at 100% as it is. the most detailed area is at the roots of her hair -- too bad that's pretty much invisible, dark as this wall is.

thank yous go to the brilliant salt (aka saku) and the evil sir (aka dan). their critical support was invaluable! :3 and for those who bother to take the time to comment/fav, thank you as well.
