For Angel Zakuro's challenge, color palettes.
I was inspired by this palette, and I thought this scan would be a good choice for those colours (her pink hair and blue eyes).
I added some light colour layers and used this texture. The words aren't mine--they're said (thought) by the character Lavi from D.Gray-man, but they popped into my head when I was cropping the image, and I thought they suited it well.
