wow, i suck at highlighting.

apart from my lack of talent, i'm entering this in my new school's literary magazine! i wanted something inspirational, and a pic to make a good impression of Ayu for the massive crowd that doesn't know who she is (FOR SHAME!!). since this was one of my fav photoshoots, and since it called out to me to produce it in my own way, i just needed to enter it! i hope it's good enough... only the best get chosen for the magazine, and i'm praying and crossing my fingers.... and toes... and eveything else... that they accept it!

just realizing- i've never done that much of a body and objects in a digi-painting yet! it's a new record!

although this was a hard piece, i was rushing to meet a deadline. hope i didn't rush too much and do a sloppy job, though. i managed it in 2-3 days, around hectic homework and everything! so feel free to give me a digital slap if so. ^__^;

here's the description i'm submitting with the piece:
This is a digital painting of the artist Hamasaki Ayumi, depicting her in her campaign for world peace. the original photoshoot was produced in honor of September 11th.

hope it inspires you as much as it did me~! ^__^
