This is the Xivilai I’ve been talking about in the last two entries. I’ve never put so much devotion and enthusiasm in an artwork. This is also the longest I’ve ever worked on any artwork, taking about 48 hours of work. I’m so proud of this.

Now to another painting, a gift for an old school friend of mine. I want to leave her speechless.

EDIT - MY PARENTS GAVE ME A CAMERA!
