The Princess of Memories

Many years ago I came up with a story - sure I come up with lots of stories...but this one, this one was beautiful! I intend one day to make a manga out of it, but I'm waiting for the right time to start doing it. I want to get better at art, and I want more experience at comic layout before I attempt it. I'm terrified I butcher it, because it's the most wonderful idea I've ever had.
This picture is of one of the main characters in that story, Lilupin. It's not her regular costume, but meh, people change clothing *shrugs*. Shes not a cat girl. She's *kind of* a wolf girl, only not There are flaws in this pic, and plenty of them. But I've been told it's good enough to post, so I am doing ^_^

This one's a bit of a quicky for me, in that it was done within that span of one day (and there was some time left over n_n). It was also a first, in that I drew and partly coloured it in Open Canvas, and it's the first time I've used the software. I wasn't too happy with it though, and touched it up with my usual airbrushyness in photoshop. Drawn July 8th, 2004 .
