This is for the wonderful NekoTenshiEmi's challenge! ^^ The first piece in my gallery was something I did in high school, so I think this one is already way better XD But I didn't want to totally outshine myself by adding a background, or totally redoing the whole piece into something 100% new, so I drew the same thing with only minor details changed, other than the obviously better technique than what I had in high school XP

(these are not my OCs Ryo and Roxanne, despite their appearances. When I made the original Painful Devotion I had my friend choose all the colors, so it was coincidence XP)

I had to try SO hard to get the file size right. Probably one of the reasons why I'm not on theO as much anymore, M scanner and camera ALWASY make the picture too big for this website, and then I have to try more than a few times to scale it to where theO will accept it. Other than that, I'm going to try posting stuff on here more often!

here's the original:
