A place I'll return to

I intended to use the sketch as the lineart, but when I was painting it I realized it wouldn't be too far a stretch just to ditch lines altogether and do it as a paint.

So I did, and I pushed myself super hard to actually finish it.

This is a big step toward what I enjoy doing and fancy myself good at, though as with most of my art I did find myself a tad impatient with the background...

This is a nobody character... but she's dripping in symbolism... and heavily represents something I miss.

I'm between hating it and loving it.

More to the former.
