Artist's Comments

:icon3712: is very lucky.

I was bored while drawing this pic.

This is, in fact, a good thing. No, it does not mean that I got bored with drawing Ehuang - it simply means I lose all thought in my head and just draw whatever comes into my hands.

It's a rare chance when that happens, but when it does my drawings turn out amazingly good. And yes, change of eye style.

Oh, note: I gave up on the background. I wanted to do my homework rather than spend too much time on it.

Ehuang exhilaratedly celebrating the coming of spring (because it's no longer cold and dreary), by dancing and causing the petals of cherry blossoms to whirl around her (I may have overdone the petals). Even her staff's gone into the festive spring mood xD I added the extra detail to the staff because, as I said, I was bored. And I'm like that - I like staffs. Made the gem in her staff more gem-y, too.

Originally I drew the clothes she came with, but the pattern on the flap thing nearly killed me after I had finished with her hair D: So I changed her clothes.

Design half inspired from HTK.

Done to Hans Zimmer's Singapore, from the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End OST - listen to it here [link]

Very nicely done. It's a small detail, but I do notice that the gem in her staff is quite lovely. And those are nice colors to have worked with. Great job, luv. 8D

Yeah, I love detail too much |D and I did enjoy doing the gem, it was awesome.

And I agree...even pink, which I don't like, turned out well and complimented the composition of the drawing. Which is great 8D

This is gorgeous Arc. c: I really love her pose and expression, and the cherry blossoms work very well. <:

Even greater is that even though there are shades of pink in there, they're not the irritating shades that are used...These are more subdued, which make it calmer in appearance.
