Description
I've been trying to experiment with shading and coloring and what not with this piece. This piece has actually sat in my drawings folder, unfinished, since September 2017....So yeah...finally finished it.
I am not pleased with how I color and shade things...I watch a lot of videos of people doing speedraws or doing story times while they draw and trying to get a grasp on how some of them color and shade and..it just baffles me for some reason.
Probably because I don't use Photoshop or PaintToolSai to color and shade...I use Clip Studio Paint, so to translate the tools they're using into the tools I'm using is very very tricky.

Also I got no "deep profound message" about this piece. No real way to describe why I drew what I drew...or what it all means. I don't think I hardly ever do? It's like a double rainbow, you put your meaning to it.

And dear Dracula Purists, yes I am very aware Mina and the Count NEVER had any romantic interactions. The way I see it, the original novel of Bram Stoker is a separate (original) universe from the Hellsing stuff. In novel-verse, I'm happy to have Mina and Jonathan have their thing.
In Hellsing-verse however...AluxMina all the way babeh!!!

I don't know why I felt I needed to address that...just a gut feeling.
