Surprise, Cougarsama! I'm your Secret Valentine Santa. You asked for so many things I wanted to draw. I settled on Slayers fan art because (a) I couldn't find a Star Wars reference that I liked and (b) I already drew a Bon Jovi picture for you a few years back. So, Slayers it was.
I bit off way more than I could chew with this one. How difficult was it? It took me until Christmas Day to finish the sketch. The SKETCH! The inking took a lot of time too. By the time I got to the coloring, I was burned out and I couldn't look at the picture for a few days. But I finished.
I apologize for the small size. I had to reduce the file size a ton in order for it to upload.
