Windswept [Trade]

THIS MANIP ALMOST RUINED ME.

Well, not really. But, I was almost completely done with it when I decided screw it! And I started completely from scratch after a little time to improve. This version is something I am infinitely more proud of. The hair took me so long I thought I would die--the subject here is scaled down by probably 2/3rds, so I was painting much longer strands than those shown here. Aaaaand I basically died. I went for a more rough, painterly look on the prep and I like it. Maybe not 'polished', but style, hey?

This is the second part of a trade with whimzi, of her wonderful character Grimalkin, who is played on Helovia.

This art is (c) me and Grimalkin is (c) Whit, and this piece is for use only by TheArtlex or whimzi.
