Thank you! :D

I was originally going to make this entirely highly contrasty black and white except for Oyuki's red lips, but the contrast effect wasn't so great. But I'm glad I kept the lips the brightest part of this. :)

(Yes! Hooray for colors!)

I'm glad you seem to like Oyuki's expression - I thought I'd failed. Thank you so much! :DD

Ooh...very creepy. Kind of reminds me of the 9th circle of Dante's Inferno. Very awesome :D

[darkfaerieclaw]

Ooh, is there a circle of Hell where pretty cryokinetic sociopaths play House with your family's frozen corpses? I really need to read Dante, anyway.

Thank you very much for viewing/commenting! I'm glad you like it! <3

I am assuming this is computer rendered? But I like the inky texture of the lines, it all looks really wet and flowing.

[darkfaerieclaw]

Yes, pretty much everything I do except for the lines is computer rendered because of my fear of coloring the actual paper picture in. I'm pretty bad at coloring with essentially everything except pastels and GIMP, so.

Thank you so much! <3

Very cool. I like the contrast lots.

Thank you! Contrast is fun to play with. ^_^
