HOLY CRAP
...
DID I JUST ACTUALLY MAKE A COMPLETE PIECE?
WITH A BACKGROUND?

this morning i woke up, and started drawing. This is an image i've had in my head ever since i read B1nd1's comic and i've started and failed at it about 2 gazillion times. this is the second time in the history of ever that i've done a piece this complete with a bg (first was the lily and snape piece)

phew.

9 hours, give or take.
sketch and lineart Paint Tool SAI (I HIGHLY recommend for inkers- best inking experience ever.)
Color Photoshop CS2

if you haven't read the comic, go now!!!

p.s. this file may be too big, i have NO idea with this new monitor. i'll check it on my mom's laptop, but if you have a standard size screen and it's being a pain, let me know? thank you!

<edit> WOW you guys thank you SO MUCH for this amazing reception! I've pretty much given up hope of answering all your nice comments but THANK YOU collectively for the comments and faves! </edit>

<edit.2> I signed on this morning after having not been online for 2 days and saw that my 200 some-odd messages had ROCKETED to 2,200 some-odd, and i had 5 notes waiting. It was very disorienting. THE POINT: THANK YOU SO MUCH for my first daily deviation, this is a really amazing day for me, i keep just staring at the little stamp below the picture...
Welcome, new watchers and friends, and thank you for your support!</edit.2>
