Stocking bust (Complete)

Lineart Here!

Still don't know why I did this, but I'm glad I did lol! Well, this was just sitting in my Pictures folder just asking to be completed and completed I made it XD

I'm loving those double swords, especially the red/black one(red and black are my favorite colors-didn't help they were my school colors because on Pride Day I was rocking them CX) if you've seen the anime, you would get why I colored one the usual color and one red/black, but it could be obvious, I don't know regardless, they are my favorite part of the drawing

Also, this drawing is different from my others because I decided to try coloring and shading with gradients and vectors in Photoshop; the lineart and base colors were done in SAI, but I was watching FuyusFox speedpaints and wanted to try her shading method(however, it looks like she uses the airbrush more than the gradient tool). I think I did better than I thought I would but there are still lots of mistakes that I see( I just cannot seem to master the pen tool... It's just not gonna happen ) I will be trying this method again because it was lots of fun I still feel like I should have sent the swords to the back, but I also didn't want to shade more than what I already was(lazy much?-Yes, yes I am) All in all, happy with this finished piece and hope you are too!
