Artist's Comments

yamato nadeshiko: A 'native wild pink' floral image used as a symbol for a gentle young lady.

Except BOU IS A MAN. Just thought I'd put that in there so no one ebarrasses themselves. He's the 23-year-old guitarist for AnCafe.
I started this two days ago, and just finished it (sans background) this morning at literally the crack of dawn. I used Prang colouring pencils, except for on the skin. I might do the background as well... his hair is kind of a vague shape, but even with the background it still would be.
I just didn't want to crowd it with unnecessary colour. What do you think? Background or no?

You like it! I'm so pleased. :aww: It won't kill me but it will probably take a day or two. I think if I do one, I'll do it on a copy in case it looks crappy.
