(If anyone has a problem with Kwan being nude and thinks this should be 13+, let me know. Otherwise, I personally don't think there should be a problem as there are no nipples showing and this is completely non-sexual/innocent)
I don't know Kwan all that well, but for some reason I'd found myself feeling attached to her. And through the grapevine, I'd learned that she's very sweet. I just wanted to make something that would make her smile. ^^
Also - I'd been experimenting with no inks and sticking with my clean sketches. Things have actually been turning out pretty well this way. It can be a little messy here and there, but I somehow think it looks better than my main inking process. I also did this to satisfy that "ugh the cleaner I make it the uglier it looks!" problem I sometimes get~
Another thing I did that was different here was cell-shading. I don't have any good examples of cell-shading in my gallery so I figured I'd cell-shade with this. I'm very pleased with how it came out. ^^
