well if you recall, the lineart I made was for a contest I was entering on deviantart. The characters name is Kanako, one of the Old Maids from Touhou - the challenge was to dress them in lolita clothing.
Now, I had to up the challenge for myself because they only accept full body pictures... which my original lineart was not. So, I had to extend the line art and try all sorts of new, scary, annoying things to make the picture look some what what it looked like in my head...

| there she is! finally complete... |
Now for some WIP photos because... I just have to show them, always :P
 |
| here we are at the beginning, looks a bit familiar to some! |
 |
| i think the basic coloring phase took me a few hours on its own -_- |
 |
| basic shading complete in Sai - then the problem solving would begin |
 |
| i then proceeded to go crazy on textures...a new thing for me |
|
| and were back to the finished product! |
Now theres alot of things Im not completely happy about...like the extension part of linework - what is it with me and failing at feet?! anyway doesnt matter - I learned alot of valuable lessons doing this picture - and here are some folks Id like to thank -
Arkaya - for the great lace tutorial and sample image
Pabloalvin - for this wood texture I used on the umbrella
and
Enchantedgal-Stock for this velvet texture I used on the stockings.
That about sums me up for now! Hope you all enjoy my colored version, and cant wait to see more entries to the color fest ^^
