"Reflections in a mirror are not always reality..."

I drew this one day when I was feeling a little down about personal issues and I also wanted to try and make something a little "dark" looking...not to sure if I was successful :XD:! I showed the inked picture to a school buddy of mine and he said the girl on the right hand side(Yasu) looked like the sitting girl(Gin's) unmatched reflection , so I went with that idea[Damn I gotta give Daniel credit now >_> :XD:!]. So in this picture we see Gin Hoshi[the one with silver/gold-blondish hair and mismatched eyes and gave her a sorta shaggy , layered do'] and Yasu Mamoru[the blonde with aqua/blue eyes ]...OMG I have characters with full names , I'm on the road to OCdom :XD:...I digress...and there in some kind of dreamy , ethereal...place O.o? I don't know , I just let my imagination do the work :p. Hmmm what can I say about this picture? I used over 60 layers to make it , it took the most time to ink and colour , trying out different poses , perfecting the soft shading and eye colouring :D! I'm pretty tempted to make an avatar out of this one but I love my current animated avi too :shakefist:*wishes she knew how to animated avatars*! Oooo I got a book recently called "The Complete Idiot's Guilde to Drawing Manga" ...now that title is a little harsh ._.;;...but I am sure it'll be of some use :D! So expect better art now that I'm out of school.

I've always had a fondness for anime characters with one blue eye and one green eye. Like Yuna from FFX. I myself have one blue and one green eye. It's far less cool in real life :P. Nice job on the picture.

I'll admit , the heterochromic look at first seemed a little odd to me but I'd seen anime pictures with it and thought it looked neat. Now , I have this character and another with a brownish green and a greenish yellow eye :XD:. And for the record , I posses a pair of very dark brown eyes.

Pretty good. but you really should work on how big the heads are. O.o

As for the breasts. >.> Try giving them more. Poof. It's always a shame to see a 70 year old womans breasts on a 17 year old body. ^^;

Though the rest is ok. I love the style.
