Description
Come now, let's try to forget the very near futurethat is destined to become smeared with blood again
If a warm wind comes and curls into a whipping spiral
then it's probably a sign
I hope you escape, I hope you escape
from this sorrowful fate that seems unyielding
I know that you're not a flower from Hell like they say
In the place that you're at,
please don't blossom there, please don't blossom there
and don't allow them to ensnare you in their game
The shards of time are flying by us without a single sound
Who does this hand belong to that is grasping my hand?
Who does this strange hand belong to that is stroking my hair?
Now in the very many crying spouts that I endure
I know I can feel the sign
Try to fly away, try to fly away
from these eternally spinning wheels of fate
I know that you're not a flower from Hell like they say
In the place that you're at,
please don't sow your seeds, please don't sow your seeds
and don't shower your petals on the hard grounds there
The ever-changing karma scatters it's spores around once more
(You can't break away)
(You can't break away)
(You can't break away)
(You can't break away)
(You can't break away)
I hope you escape, I hope you escape
from this sorrowful fate that seems unyielding
I know that you're not a flower from Hell like they say
In the place that you're at,
please don't blossom there, please don't blossom there
and don't allow them to ensnare you in their game
The shards of time are flying by us without a single sound
--- Naraku no Hana (Flower from Hell) by Shimamiya Eiko from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

She totally looks like Rika from the When They Cry series. n_n; I couldn't resist drawing that out.
Loosly referenced from this scene from the Higurashi anime: [link]

Well. xD I know neither of the things you're referencing here, so I can't comment on the mashup itself, but...
You're getting so much better at coloring, I'm having difficulties believing you still don't have a tablet. o-o But as for the art, I really think you should put more effort into constructing your drawings. There's those kinds of mistakes you could have easily spotted if you sketched properly, like the neck being too long and the right shoulder being off.

Study it. Follow it. I demand it. D:<

I know. x3
Thanks! <3 That airbrush tool really helps the shading process. And it's super fun, too!
The shoulder was a mistake; I was trying to make it droop like it does in the picture I was referencing and I failed. The neck, I made long on purpose as it's too long in the picture from the anime. n_n; Might have overdone that part a bit, though. I wouldn't have used the painful-looking position if it wasn't for the fact that I was trying to make my picture as accurate to the from the anime as possible, so as to properly show the similarities between the two characters.

Well, anime rarely makes a good reference, I guess. But I see where you're coming from with not wanting to stray from the source material.
Still stand by my point >3>

Exactly. xD; Trust me, I know the picture I referenced had off anatomy (the link is in the description if you want to see it). I was just trying to copy that scene which meant TRYING to be as anatomically inaccurate as that scene was.
But yeah, most of the torso is off.

Oops. I didn't mean to come off as ungrateful. x: I DO appreciate the critique, and your critique certainly wasn't unfounded; the neck/shoulder area IS off.
Sorry. ;_;

Nah, you didn't sound ungrateful ^^ I do understand.

Just making sure. n_n; I didn't want you to think I was shooting your advice down.
