Christmas Candle

this is for nakamicchi's secret santa group, #ss-friends!!! it's akanezumi's character, hiromi: [link]

i wanted a cozy indoor Christmas for this picture <333

the hair coloring is something i've seen in some pixel icons (including the one i have now!!). i tried to do it in "rita" but it didn't work. this is the second time i've done it, and i like the way it came out here!! ^___^ (though i think the scanner made it look slightly less neat eheh)

don't look at the hands...

don't look at the wallpaper...

YOU LOOKED DIDN'T YOU XD well, i did actually do the pose in real life, myself. the hands really are kindasorta supposed to look like that... (but not quite >___< ) and the wallpaper... i tried more painting instead of marker!! but i'm so used to marker. i'm not as used to panting so yeah that's why it's not the best! but i like (acrylic) painting, it's fun ^___^


oh btw, i've drawn hiromi before, in a sketch. [link] lol i drew her from the exact same angle both times XDDD idk why...


forgot when i started this but i finished Christmas eve *___*
