My entry for Hackerblackrose's challenge Time to Celebrate! The idea is to draw hackerblackrose herself :) The deadline is in August so there's lots of time for everyone to join!

I decided to draw Rose a bit differently... I drew her in traditional Japanese clothing (kimono) and didn't add certain features such as her glasses. But I wanted to try to portray who Rose is to me~ She is a strong, beautiful, loving person and friend <3 She never gives up and is always around to help out her friends. No matter what she's been through, Rose stays positive. I admire her attitude and art skills very much!

Rose, I hope you like this anime-ish portrait of yourself :) You are such a dear friend to me, thankyou!! I'm glad I got to enter into your first challenge too, and congrats on 300 subscribers <3

~Also, shameless advertising here, but I'm taking commissions and prints now! PM me if you are interested~ Thanks!
