I just read somewhere that watching TV helps pain, because it distracts you.
As for the picture, it's good, just try not to use the dodge tool, okie? :D

xiau: why not? i LIKE TEH DODGE TOOL! and my hair is really like that, too. orange/brown-ish... i'm immature for my age, and i like it that way! i like my tail too! =D

senshi: owww... D: don' do that.... my skin is sensitive! *bites your hand like kiki kitty*

I just got my ears re-peirced on Wednesday. I didn't think it really hurt that much. Stings a little but that's about it

I pierce my own ears. (Have six earrings so far, working on seven and then I'll go to the cartilege. :P) If you had deleted the black circle from in his hair, I wouldn't think you were a 'beginner' at all. ^^

im not a beginner. i just forgot. the reason is because i had to fold laundry for my parents, and then i had to cleanmy ears...
