that's the best reaction I've ever had to the colors in this pic, EVER! *L*
Thank you! I wouldn't mind having their clothing, myself -- though it's so loud, I don't know where i'd ever wear it! *L*
As for the anime thing, this is one of the last consciously anime-esque pieces I ever did after I left the circuit. (I used to work a lot of anime conventions - was an art director for a couple of them - worked the fringes of the industry - even started my own manga once upon a time, though it'll probably never get done. :(. I've since been trying to take my artwork in different directions. Working the anime/manga convention circuits will get you in a stylistic rut faster than anything else you could do. ^.^
Whoops, that went on longer than it should have! *L* sorry about that, and thanks again!
