Happy birthday, Hana-chan! *hugs* I hope you don't mind I'm doubling your gift as a challenge entry. :) This is the dedication to a friend challenge...and you are a great friend! So sweet. I know you love Chobits because you requested an icon of Chii before. I hope you had a great b-day. ^_^ Thanks again for being a wonderful friend, even if you haven't updated much lately!

I used this scan. It was really dark...so it needed a bit of work (it still seems a bit dark to me though...). I'm not sure why I wanted to crop it how I did...I guess cause I really liked the POV of the scan and how her hair looked...so it could be elegant without showing her face. I mostly just used gradients...one bokeh brush on the left side, but basically just played with lighting and gradients. >> The typography...I think it's ok. Might want to tweak it some time, but it's still good. :)

I hope you like it! <3
