Description "Fog comes on little cat feet..."

I found a really old version of this doodle on my computer this week and decided it needed some serious reworking. It was from, I dunno, 2005, I think, and was the first time I used the dodge and burn tools. It really showed. Not that I don't use them a ton here, though. And I love Maha too much to let her just sit there in my junk folders. So here she is, reborn!

I like the textures and the crosshatching. Macha's so cute!

I love this. Macha was always one of my favorite characters in SIGN, and gosh this is just bringing back so much nostalgia. lol

I'm guessing you did this with a wacom tablet, but it almost looks like you drew some of this with florescent ink pens. A really neat aesthetic, I must say.

Both spellings are used. I just picked one.

Thanks!

I can't remember a time when Maha was ever used in .hack, ever. I mean Maha is a real name, generally for males, while Macha is for females.

I think some people/websites get Maha purely from the Japanese katakana spelling. It's the same pronunciation for both Maha and Macha in this context, either way. Even in wiki articles people seem to switch between the two spellings pretty freely.
