Spring Forward

Trade with


I've been working on this non-stop. All night. First of all...I am SO SO SO SO SO sorry your half of the trade took this long. *checks date of submission* Good lord, it took me a year. GUYS. A YEAR. YEAAAAAR. I'm a horrible person. I'm sorry.

This is her lovely character Willow, whom I love...but does not love me! I have...I guess this is the 4th file? all attempts to draw this pretty girl, but she just did not want to cooperate and for some reason I couldn't force it. Not sure why, but I'd always end up ragequitting before I could get it to work. So today I was sitting around wanting to do something, and Willow kicked me in the head and said "YO FOO, DRAW MEEEEE"

So I did!
Finally. I'm so sorry, I don't even know what to say about this. I hate when people take so long on trades so I feel even worse about it ._. I hope this makes you feel better! I put tons of love and work into it. She was a huge challenge and I know I've got some stuff wrong somewhere, but I finally figured out how to make her coat shiny. Don't look too close at the background though. For as simple as it is, it was mean to me.

I figure she's going somewhere...off to discover something new, although whatever's behind her doesn't seem to be that friendly. LIGHT RAYS OF DOOM, GO AWAY CLOUDS

Okay I'm done now. Again, I'm sorry hun, you deserved better. Hope you like it anyway.

Background reference is also from *Colourize-Stock! She's awesome.
I put a pebble texture down in the river but you can't see it anymore, so.
Splashes are the devil. Also I realized that there should probably be a reflection and I covered up with shadow with a mysterious water color. Derp. It's 11:30 am and I haven't slept. I blame that.

Oh yes! Her half of the trade from LAST FRIGGEN YEAR is here:</sub>
