it did NOT take that long D:
i ended up getting pulled away from the comp and yea :/

the clouds were super fun, though |D

made the clouds softer, started shading.
which reminded me of the reason i don't use chibi as much--if ya use the watercolor brush on a separate layer form the base colors, it won't blend in. which doesn't work well with my usual method :I
but i remembered that too late, and now must work with it as-is!

can anyone tell me how to merge layers on chibi?
this applet always feels so foreign to me ):

pretty much almost done with the hair, so i moved onto her dress. i do need to work a bit more with the main highlights, though :T
that, and her arm didn't seem that skinny until i changed the forearm......i'll have to fix that ):
this feels like 45% cleaning, 35% work and 20% for fun D:

but hopefully that'll change the further i go on :/
the lower-right cloud'll cover over her foot there, i just need to figure out how to do that....
fffffff that just felt like deja vu >A<

i'm going to avoid writing a huge paragraph this time :/
was mostly listening to the music for outlaw star this time, i really loved that series back when it aired (:
