Mission Failed

Wow... It's been quite a while since I posted anything. almost 2 months. Mostly due to school taking up most of my time. Though over the past month I've been working on a few small projects... and some not so small projects (Such as this). Man... originally this was only going to be a sketch, and I had so much trouble with the hands I was afraid I was going to have to scrap it. But out of the ashes it rose up, and now, I can honestly say I think it's one of my best colouring jobs. I mean i really like it. this is sort of the first time I think I've made latex actually look like it's latex. Also, as you can probably tell, I did an experiment with a different, more moe style. I hope you all enjoy it, though don't fret, I'm not changing my entire style just because of this. Also, I did a lot different with the shading of the figure itself. I've really been testing out hard shadows as well as soft shadows, a technique I've been very fond of learning. and i think i really pulled it off here. I hope you all enjoy it, and I hope my next post won't be quite as long a wait. Thank you all for watching. There probably is a story somewhere in here, though I might just have to write it a little later. who knows?

Also, a very special thank you to my friends who helped me by critiquing the background and figure as I went along. without them, I'm not sure it would've come out as good as it did. You all know who you are.
