I asked ~darkhalo tonight if I should sew or draw since I was feeling 50/50 on both. He opted for the latter; mostly so he could get some work done on his music (sneaky!). But here she is all completed, YaY! I have two different versions of Photoshop between home and work with the latter being CS3 instead of CS4. For the most part this doesn't bother me. That is, until I started working on this one. During one of the color fixes ~darkhalo applied some vibrancy layers so I could figure out the colors I wanted (more saturated) and it really helped...until I'd bring it over to work where CS3 wouldn't know what to do with those layers and thus drop them. It made for working back and forth kind of annoying; I had to save two versions...one with the vibrancy layer(s) and one without. I'd work on the one without the layers and if I needed to check something I'd open up the other version and then drag those layers onto the other one. In hindsight I probably could have optimized this process but I kind of got caught up in just completing it.

~darkhalo has been noticing that I've been living vicariously through my artwork. I drew this one because I really wanted this dress but knew I'd never get it I referenced this from an actual dress made by Angelic Pretty.

The name is just a little tongue-in-cheek by the way
