Aria

Done out of sheer boredom and the sudden urge to put something new up here.

I tried for the soft look again; I think it's getting better, but some parts definately still need more work. The wings are supposed to be transparent, but apparently the opacity I set for the layer was still too high. I'd change it, but I accidentally saved the merged image over the psd file. =.=

Drawn on ordinary sketchbook paper with a 2H pencil and inked with small and fine sized pens, then scanned in and colored on Photoshop 7 with my tablet. The crappy background was made in Photoshop as well, with some brushes I got from Adobe Studio Exchange.

As a side note, this was sketched immediately after watching an episode of Tsubasa Chronicle, so yes, I got some costume ideas from that.
