Renamed

My apologies to Sakurai Hinoki and Arisa Mizuhara (and their respective fans).
This is actually Arisa Mizuhara... my apologies again for my careless error in mistaking her for Sakurai Hinoki (who is also another Cosplay Goddess of mine).

One of the longest work I ever done (~_~);
The skin tones alone took more than 20 hours. This took me 3 days to finish (24 hour work + 1 day pause due to frustrations in being unable to draw a realistic hair... until I settled to make it anime-style as a last resort + 12-24 hours of finishes)

Sketched and Inked in MS EX then colored in Photoshop Elements

First work on a real-life subject
Second work directly drawn and colored digitally
