Hmm well after searching I couldn't find the page I actually got this image from ~ Groans ~ But the main site was here or at least I think it was anyway and the original scan looks like this.

It is a scanning of a Doujinshi because I couldn't find the actual image I want so randomly typed abexmihashi in google and found the above page which has a Doujinshi with the picture I wanted (which now seems to have vanished!). I then spent a day colouring it till I got to the stage when I was leaving it alone even though it is not perfect. I then had a slump so didn't go anywhere near creativity and then a few days later cut it out of the picture, cleaned it up and then added all the background stuff to make the card! That is the short version anyway ~ Laughs ~ It took me a good ages, maybe 8-10 hours or something. I could have told how it all worked more accurately had I not had 2 days away from it ~ Groans ~ Maybe I could have found the scan too ~ Sighs ~

But anyway I made this for you Kelsey after reading err the post before Thursday maybe? It was filled with one thing after another that was bad and I just got the impression that you needed a break and something good to happen and so, remembering out comment convos where you mentioned those two, I decided to make a card ~ Cracks up ~ I think this would be the next stage of my eCard evolution though it takes too long to do more often. Oh and I have a new respect for you when you vector things! Boy it is hardwork ~ Rests head and desk ~ I hope you love it though and that it brought some joy to your weekend ~ Hugs ~ Try and look past the imperfection to the warm feelings of friendship that are held inside ~ Cracks up ~ Oh and I do think these two are cute together now (kinda hard not to after staring at this image so much lol). May your future days be more enjoyable than the ones that have just past ~ Monster hugs you ~ And thank you so very much for the inspiration and for being such a great friend since I returned ~ Hugs you again ~

Away from that the details. The picture was from a Doujinshi I have since lost ~ Glares at site ~ I coloured it myself and then made the card using GIMP because I do my best colouring and editing there ~ Tries on Photoshop but didn't agree with it lol ~ The brushes were from dA.

PS: Sorry the title is so male ~ Cracks up ~ I had no idea what to call it, or what category to put it in either (as you can tell this was born out of inspiration with pretty much no planning...even with so long to think of it ~ Cracks up ~)
