blending in, or popping out? i love coloring like this! takes me back to my colored pencils, my poor, dusty, neglected colored pencils! ; ; *whines for a while*. anyway, i'm such a lazy girl.. i meant to get this up way early yesterday, but i never got around to it! this is a commission for noriko-chan-chan, on which i was given quite a bit of free reign >: D. wheeeeeeee!

this was drawn by me on card stock, inked and detailed to finish in open canvas 4+, with all base colors and finishing effects applied in adobe photoshop 7.0.
