Ah, I never really announced this, but people who were to take some time to check the recent comments on my front page may have found out that I won a coloring contest of some sort. =Victorie, the winner of the lineart portion of that contest, was also generous enough to offer the winner a custom set of lines of their own request.

~weaselsdontfly was to be the subject of this. So many people say that she looks like an anime character in real life, and after seeing Victorie's gallery, I felt that she would make the perfect subject matter for this gift. I was noted with admirable promptness, showing an early sketch of what was to be a more refined version of her, but I just loved those rough lines so much, I just had to give them a whirl. Even when they were in a state of incompleteness, I still found myself completely hooked on the energy, the gesture, the acquisition of :weaselsdontfly:'s character.
