SO last week I went to Naru2U with some friends, and I really should go to more of these conventions since I wound up meeting a bunch of artists. One of the ones whom I discovered was Xiao Bai, a manga/tatoo artist specializing in oriental designs. I wound up buying a print of one of her works; I am now waiting for it to come back from framing, but I did decide to attempt her style by sketching a slight variation of the print (will post once its back).
Sadly this isn't my official return to weekly art; I was just rested/sane enough to crank something out this week lol.
