Mage
Painter 6 -- 01.30.03

Another cel-shaded, quickly-done pic. Notice a recent trend here? ^^;;; Done for the Manifest postcard competition. I did this in one 4-hour sitting, since the deadline was midnight and I had only come home at 8~ I wouldn't have bothered entering with such a short time remaining, if it weren't for this stupid idea of a mage --which happens to fit into one of the topics for the competition-- that kept nagging me on the back of my mind XP So I just sketched the idea down, and cleaned it a bit in Painter. By the time it was ready to be colored, I only have like 2 hours left @_@; So I started coloring it like mad, literally. I didn't even stop to think what colors to put in, etc., so basically, yeah, this thing is a mess. There are many many mistakes and a lot of things that could be improved. I guess I'm just not the sort of person that would go back and fix my already finished pics, though... so I'll just let it be =3 I know after a couple of days I'll feel like killing myself for doing all the stupid mistakes in this, but what the heck. I strained my eyes for four straight hours for this, so I'm keeping it :P

The tarot cards, by the way, weren't made by me~ I just picked it off Google's image search, since I was a bit desperate and short on time ^^;; I think it's from an Angelique tarot set... I'm not really sure ^^;;; It's generic enough, I hope~

There's an alternative version with a lighter-coloured background, click on the pic to see it~
