Finally finished!

I was sitting on the couch like a lump playing Alan Wake when my mom chunked an envelope at me. Inside was my replaced tablet pen! At first I was really excited, but then I got really nervous because I now had no reason not to finish my painting...

But I did!

I'll post it in a moment, but first I have to say... I definitely have a stumbling-block when it comes to backgrounds. It's very frustrating... I work so hard and then draw a blank when it comes to that last bit of art that really pulls it together... For this particular piece, I have four different backgrounds in the .psd file. FOUR. I switched them back and forth until I settled on the one I thought was best. I still have the others on the file if I change my mind...

All in all, though, I'm quite happy with myself.

This would be Matsumoto Rangiku from Bleach! Yes, more fan art...

In other news, I almost bled out through the wrist because baby kitty decided I was a good climbing post. I also got one of those misting fountains and think it is the best lamp ever...
