I got a fantastic surprise yesterday from my dear friend, blackwings. We've known each other since way back in the MyOtaku days. Here it is!
Isn't it beautiful? I just love it ^_^ This is Aerin, a character I made up a long time ago. This was my 2004 picture of her.
Rather embarrassing, but we all have to start somewhere, right? ^_^; I have drawn her in more recent days. These sketches were from sometime in the last year -
She's changed a bit over the years, including her outfit, though after seeing blackwing's version I think I'm going to change it back to something closer to the original. It looks better that way!
Thank you again, blackwings! It was a wonderful birthday surprise!
