Not really sure how to catagorize this one...  I drew this while listening to 'Light with a sharpened edge' by The Used. There are fantasy aspects to it, which is why I decided to put it here. And I think it's pretty. =^.^=

 

I'm thinking I might make an updated version because I still like the style but the anatomy bothers me...

I've looked at the picture 2 or 3 more times since my original post, and that black glob behind her still gives me (and, perhaps others maybe?) the impression she'd had a battle with a giant Amoeba, lost, and is being absorbed by it.

You used to paint pictures for your boyfriend? And he started pestering you to paint him more? That's just adorable. And this is really awesome, I love how she melts into the black and grey.

1 Haley Oatway replies: "lol, I thought it was cute... and I'm glad you like it! Thanks for commenting!"
