Description This picture . . . ah, this picture. It took me over a year to finish this picture. How many months did it sit there in my shelf, staring me in the face, begging for me to finish it? I have no idea. Way too long. I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with it. >_< Empty spaces filled the picture and there wasn't anything I could figure out with it.

So this weekend, I saw it and started working on it again in attempts to procrastinate the paper I'm supposed to write for Philosophy. I got pretty far and there was just a little bit left so I'd feel really guilty if I didn't finish it. So I did.

The end result is a lot better than I thought it would be. With so little inspiration that went into it... yeah, it turned out amazing for the lack of inspiration. And now I'm babbling.

Named Gaia after the Greek God of Mother Earth. I started her soon after Isis as a sort of series, but it took a very long long time... >_0

I have a changing style when it comes to anime, but when it's more realistic it doens't change nearly as much. I pretty much use the same tecnique when it comes to using color pencils.

Last year I wasn't even using photoshop+tablet, so my style concerning that has changed a lot.

It's good when your style changes I think, because usually it's because you're getting better.

true! Change is always a good thing in that respect. I don't like it much otherwise, though!

Yay I love it! It's so purdy! And to think it took you so long! Sheesh. Nothing like a bit of well spent class time to finish any drawing neh?

There was just so little inspiration for the picture, that's why it took so long [and it wasn't an assignment either]
