saaa, domo arigatou :3.  Unfortunately it's kinda
not as impressive in person, because I had to do
some touching up in Photoshop to make it
half-presentable ^^;;.  Normally I'd never touch
up a cel or fancel digitally, but in this case I
figured that, being a placeholder, fixing it up to
my satisfaction allowed it to perform its function
best.  If that makes any sense ;) (eh
heh...insomnia for the past two nights really
isn't doing much for my language skills ^^;;).  

I like the way the original's hair turned out, but
after that it was kinda all downhill. 
Perfectionist me didn't like the fact that his
inner shirt colors didn't contrast enough, and the
original's skin turned out a little
dark/undersaturated.  It wasn't horrible-horrible,
just a bit disappointing.  I may redo it one day
if I'm feeling incredibly bored and want to try
tackling it again *G*.

link, if anyone's interested...^__^;;.  Shameless
plug, shameless plug!)
