It’s Mareo, from her awesome manga Nine Lives Minus One~! [link]

............................

This looks so much better in reality…
But it doesn’t excuse the fact that I completely butchered Mareo or that it’s very sloppily done. D: ...He looks older than he really is here. And AAAHHH!! I forgot the tail! O___O

I promised I’d make this over a year ago, but this is actually the third version. (And I’m still not too proud of it...) This is what happened to the other two:

1: I had the lineart for the first one on the computer. The computer frickin’ crashed on me as soon as I had gotten to the second layer of colouring.

2: It’s completely unbelievable, but true... I finished this version at school with watercolours and everything. And then I was happily strolling to the bus stop, minding my own business, when there suddenly was this really strong gust of wind. I lost my grip on the painting, and watched completely horrified as it flew a good bit away and then landed in the middle of the road. ... Where it proceeded to get run over by a truck. I was like “OMG!! WTF?!! O__O NOOOO, I put eight bloody hours of my life into that painting!”
Can you believe it?! O__O I still almost don’t. I mean, what are the odds? But it happened.


.... So the result is this. A sloppy, quick painting and weird anatomy. (Took about two hours all in all...) But there’s one thing I like. XD The “Eyes up there”-girl shirt. He didn’t have that in the other versions, but I had to make up for the lack of a spiffy pose somehow.

...Uwaah~! So sorry for killing Mareo. T___T
