i started drawing this picture when i was sixteen. i am now 21, and i just finished the inking on it now... only took me five years. haha.

wonder how long it'll be before i finish the colouring. i'm actually starting to get bored with this, i've learned an awful lot more about drawing in general during the last half-decade and this looks fairly primitive and kind of childish to me now. in terms of purely technical skill, i've gotten a lot better... but still, i mean, fuck. i might as well. i've been awfully busy lately actually doing stuff that matters now that i'm a reclusive hermit and i've stopped leaving my house or seeing anyone i know, so the coloured version should be up soon. it'll be a relief to get it out of the way.

since it was one of the first things i ever really made an effort at making more than just a half-assed incomplete doodle, i stupidly used paper from these oversized cheap-ass sketchbooks they gave to us in our art class; as a result, it's impossible for me to fit the entire picture on my scanner at once, which i find irritating.

i'm very curious to see what it will look like when i finish it.

The suggestor writes, "...With girl with the sun in her head, ~hiraistrange achieves powerful, resonant imagery as remarkable for its stylized figure work and portraiture as it is for its generosity of spirit and pure love of design; there's so much to see here, all balanced masterfully without stifling the flow of its energy and spontaneity."

So awesome. What would I have to do to get you to do a piece for me as a tattoo? Also, is it okay if I use the blood mage piece as a tat as well or is that a no no?

There's something about actual ink-on-paper drawing that can't be duplicated on computer. I hope we don't lose our ability as the generations pass to actually create by hand.
