UUUUUUUUGH, I feel like a zombie today. Stupid weather…
Anyway, taking a break from my convention goodies to post a traditional picture I did last week~~

It’s of my original character, Slade. I originally started it because I wanted to use one of my new copic colours, B79 (AKA: Iris). Then it progressed and turned into this. o3o

The flowers are supposed to be irises. The butterflies are supposed to be Spicebush Swallowtails (papilo troilus). I don’t feel like I succeeded with either… and the picture generally looks better on paper, but I can’t figure out why. T_T I like how her hair and dress turned out, though.

Thanks for looking!
