thanks for the contest @uxiewriter ♡ this is the best person i've ever drawn digitally! it took me a number of days all spread out, but overall it was probably at least 4 hours, at least one of which was spent doing things to it that didn't work... >w< having said that, i'm very attached to it, and i'd only like a normal critique. however, that is subject to change. maybe do half a harsh critique...? aaagh normally i would say harsh without a second thought, but i like this too much... just do whatever you judge best between a normal and a harsh :) there are a bunch of other backdrops and stuff i made in this project that i couldn't bring myself to delete- feel free to flip through them, but please don't use :) also, i know the hair shading isn't that great, i couldn't figure out a better method~ sorry for the long description >w<
