this is my first time doing a 'painting' instead of a lineart. i felt really directionless and there's still so much i wanted to improve, but i couldn't figure out how. i think this turned out good though, in comparison to the painting like things i've tried before which were always thrown away very early on. i like how it turned out.

there was more i could have done, too. but i spent about 7 hours straight working on this and my neck hurt.
