Honestly, I had such a good time with this. And I am SO BEYOND STOKED that you dig it so much. That is the best reward of all, that it has made you happy. It's all I really wanted to accomplish with the picture, anyway. Anything else was incidental.
The lighting was a lot of fun to play with in this pic. I'd actually wanted to try something more chiaroscuro, but I have a hard time committing to shadows. I should take more risks.
And oh crap- just remembered that I need to send you an early .psd version, so you can tinker with the line elements. Crap- I'll try and get that out to you in the morning. I swear, my brain, it is a sieve...
Also, I oughta take this momentum and run with it, complete the other pic I've got in the works for you. That's been a long time brewing, and you could use the squee. Maybe I can play with it tomorrow... hmm. *plots*
*squishes* So glad you liked the picture. It meant a lot to me, to be able to draw for you. :D
