It took me almost three days to come up with such a simple design... First up, I traced the original scan that I used. I had a concept in mind, but it didn't come out the way I wanted... so I tried something else... still didn't like it... Finally, today, I told myself that it would be the last day that I would try to make something out of the vector I had...

After some fooling around, I came up with this, and I finally liked it...*phew.

For those of you who don't know, this is Nodame and Chiaki for the amazing manga/live action/anime, "Nodame Cantabile". I saw the entire first season in less than a week and I am really looking forward to the second season which premieres next month. I swear, if you love romance and comedy, and are a fan of music, you have got to check out this series.
