Here's attempt number 2 at painting! I decided that I didn't enjoy the mixing and blending of colors (because I suck pretty bad at it ) so I used the paints straight out of the tube. I did this one purely for the fun of it. I tried using some black lava texture gel on her eyes and teeth. I was hoping for a little more glitter. Lord help me if mom sees this one - it'll be straight to the mental hospital for me... The inspiration came from an anime I happened to be watching at the time. It was one of the final episodes from Black Lagoon. When I saw this closeup of Revy/Levy's face - the pure, crazy enjoyment of the fight she was in the middle of - I fell in love. This one makes me smile XD
