"In this house of God , I have found the solace my soul craves..."

This picture is to celebrate 10 000[well 12 631 now O_O!] page views and I'm happy for every one !

*c0o0okie I am so sorry it took me this long to finish this , I hope the final result will make up for the time . Onto the description...miss cookie asked me to draw her one of the ever popular ragnarok online[or RO] high priestesses(sp). Her only specification was that the priest was to have long blue hair. I drew one sketch long before I got my "Idiots Guide to Drawing Manga" book so the picture looked gawdawful. I thought colouring it would make it look nicer , but it just wasn't happening. So I took the picture , deleted the photoshop file and shredded the sketch...and drew this one while watching tv after the first weekend since school finished ! My high priest has the blue hair as requested , a modified version of the high priest dress[based on pictures I've seen..why can't they look like this >.<?]elf ears and bao baos(the cloth bun things) which are popular head gears in the game...hell my priest has them . And she's sitting on a cobblestone floor of a umm...I guess church if you can call the priests christian ones O_o[I hand painted the cobble stones...that takes forever X_X!] Oh did I forget to mention all the drama that came with colouring this picture? First of all I kept getting distracted by the game that this character comes from , when I would get a chance to colour it there was this bad thunderstorms[Half way through the colouring , I rotated the canvas and this caused the colours to "shift" outside of the lines and I had to practically colour the whole thing over -.-!] in Toronto and power surges would cause blackouts and then...I got a bad cold ._.;;;....but I finished it! I tried out a slightly different cging method[and I hope it came out nicely] , I really worked on shading her hair and clothes[I will get shading clothes right dammit!!!] and I tried out giving a character yellow eyes ! I think I should do more RO art and get another subbie so I can post screen shots! Someone donate me a subscription D:...j/k do it if you want to and can afford it !
