Original contest entry I finished for m_c_contest back then in April, but it got killed by me after I realized that there was an extension since just about everything of this colouring went wrong. orz
I can't exactly tell what went wrong, but I tried to blend many different colours together and the result looked weird. This image also has so many tiny parts and I got really impatient at it after 15+ hours of work, and by the time I almost finished the colouring I just wanted to throw my tablet out the window...I probably won't colour another image with so many fancy details in the next three months |DDD
This is also the most layered colouring I've ever done, with exactly 259 visible layers (I can't believe I actually counted them all ;w;)
TL;DR long story short, I wasn't too satisfied with the result. I think I could have done a better job on it.
Credit to extraobsession for the pattern used on the wall and curtains.

Reaaaal entry for m_c_contest. Learning from my previous lesson, this time I'm using a simplier, cleaner image. Which means I just advanced to a new level of laziness lol.
If it looks nothing like my usual style, it's probably because I used SAI to shade half of the colouring. SAI's smoother strokes make it easier for me to shade their hair, and it also has some nice blendings and textures. Switching back and forth between PS and SAI was fun...I can't even remember whether I used PS and SAI more on this one. I guess it's about half and half?
I was going to use a pinkish-orange tone at first, but somehow it ended up being blue and purple. Oh well |DD Those glass shards were a bit screwed up as well.
The colouring looked a bit flat initially so I used some light textures by chocoaka set at Softlight to give it more depth. And then the fun part(?), I used some leftover red paint and a toothbrush to create those white dots/speckles, thus making a big mess in my bathroom during the process~\o/
Thank you to everyone who voted on my previous poll! The results are quite close so I think I will make a bit of both fandoms. I doubt I will post anything before July arrives though since I have a ton of exams and rl business in June...thank you for always being patient and sticking with me for so long, anyway ♥
