Well this was going to be a different character of mine, but I couldn't decide who during the sketch phase, and I was feeling more and more bored with it because I was wanting to do a more dynamic pose, but the pose just wasn't working out all that well.

I then saw ~jigglysama upload one of his gijinka I hadn't seen for a while and thought it would be fun to draw, so I just switched a few details around and started the lineart, and it kept going pretty good all around. Took about four days, but I think one of those were spent working on it when it was still a sketch for whichever character of mine I would have made it to be otherwise.

I used the lineart-duplication trick to speed up coloring again(with a few problems here and there that had to be fixed but didn't take too long), and shading seemed to turn out pretty good, so I had time to mess around with adding in a background, which I just sort of randomly decided since it was underwater, I'd throw in some SMB3 stuff. Unfortunately the question-blocks turned out terrible, but that's partly because I had started creating all basic unshaded shape-BG-objects in GIMP and at the VERY last moment it crashed, and I lost everything, so it was really obnoxious trying to remake everything again, so I kind of put a little less effort into that.

At the end, I had some weird problems happening around the eyes where I just couldn't seem to get the shading to cooperate(so if you see a weird ring around her eyes, that's why), and because of some of the layer-options I had going on I couldn't import SAI's PSD into GIMP without some loss of color-space, so the depth of shadows is pretty bland/gray-ish. Overall it's very busy and a little difficult to pick out what's going on, so I regret that. But the lineart came out pretty strong, better than normal I think, and the anatomy wasn't too-too bad, so that helped too. But I think the result is good for just three/four days, so I think I'm satisfied.

Also, with a file this size, I would normally have cut it to 50% size, and these days, chose JPEG because my larger file sizes show a little less degradation even at 80% quality. But this is the full 100%-size PNG version, downloadable, 7.6~8MB 2893x4092 project-file size. That's mainly so Jigglysama can do with it what he wants(including resizing it to something smaller if it's too big, because wow, I'm surprised that uploaded with MY ISP, yeesh). Otherwise, I definitely apologize for it being sooooo huge if you can't view it. Maybe the non-download version being smaller will help, but who knows.
