Description *whew* It's finally done!! Joy!!!

This was a b-day gift to myself! ^.^ I gave the 'me' in this picture a yellow dress for three reasons. 1) because I was thinking of my birth stone, 2) it's Santa's favorite color, & 3) its one of my favorite colors as well.

I work on this off and on and I am rather pleased with the results. I went through many tutorials to see how to do a lot of stuff but ended up kinda messing it up so I guess I can't follow directions too well...hehe...

If you will notice the red string around both figures fingers. that's me being bad again with the whole 'red string of fate'. Heh...ask my friends, they can testify that I am stupid over this particular 2-D.

The character here is Santa as he appears in the last pages of vol. 17 of Kaikan/Sensual Phrase. ^.^ He gets long hair!!! MEOW!!!!!!!!! *glomps* MINE!

Heh, so, yes, second year in a row that I did a 'Santa' picture for my personal gift to me. I am rather predictable, am I not?

Anyway, time for the credits:

The drum set is from here .

/\ucifer is the name of a manga/anime band (yes, they were real but the 'original' band was fake...) and belongs to Mayu Shinjo.

I wouldn't quite go callilng yourself an airhead. You have to have something going on up there to pull of that fabric look!

^.^;; I've called myself worse, but thanks for the compliment!! I was rather impressed with myself till I realized that I had to make the rest of the picture up to that standard and now I have a nervous tick above my eye...

Very nice end product. And, yes. We all know you are VERY silly over Santa. *shakes head* But, then...I have my boys, too. *smirks*

That dress is going to be very hard to best. *nods*

^.^'' hehe..

santa......*slaps self*

Anyway, the dress won't be that hard to outdo...since it lacks in decoration and details are not my strong suit....
