Darn, my right wrist really hurts. :P Anyway, I was finally able to draw Black Vash. The idea has haunted me several months, so when the holidays came, I forced myself infront of the drawing table and started skecthing. That was in the middle of week 52.

Sketching took a while and I was mostly doing wrinkels and that darn-so-hard-to-draw Colt .45. It took me over one hour to skecth it! Then I let my eyes and brains to relax one day before inking. Maybe it was the holiday mood or something else that mabe me lazy, because it took me 2 days to ink Vash. :XD: Well, I had other things to do as well, so I inked a few lines, went to buy some food, inked a bit more, got kicked out of my own room by my mother, some ink here and there, went out for a walk and so on. Then I ran out of ink when I was inking the part of cout which has bullet holes. If counted in hours, inking took me about 4 hours.

Christmas came and I started computer coloring. It all went like this:
Dec 24th - fixing the constract, blocking the broken lines
Dec 25th - hair, eyes, sunglasses adding base colors, making shadows and lightnings with airbrush
Dec 26th - coat and hand same as above
Dec 27th - face, gun, chain, bloodspatters same as above

Gaah!!! It took me about 11 hours to finish the computer coloring! My right wrist really is feeling dead. x_x It might take a while when I next time use computer and a mouse as coloring tools. Heh, blame the techolocy when you're just lazy yourself! ^^;

I like the line art, but there are some parts that look a bit weird, for example Vash's arm. I meant it to be close to his upper body, but I'm not sure if it should go like that. Coat wrinkels are not the best, but enough for me. The the coloring... In the beginning I was like I'm going to blow it, but in the end I realized it was fun! But "one can't gain anything without sacrificing something." My wrist... *holds her limp wrist* :XD:
