Since I&#039;m incredibly lazy and don&#039;t really have the time to go to everyone&#039;s individual pages personally, I would just like to take this opportunity to extend a thank-you to everyone who&#039;s fav&#039;d any of my drawings in the last two weeks, especially those who fav&#039;d "How to Cure Rappyform." It&#039;s refreshing to know that I can put out a drawing of someone who doesn&#039;t have extras of any body part and still have it be appreciated. ^_^<br /><br />That said, it feels really good to finally get back to more familiar territory. This is my first attempt at drawing myself in a swimsuit since... yikes, since 2006. o_o; This isn&#039;t just cheesecake, this is long-overdue cheesecake.<br /><br />Anyways, I was angsting over this piece all of last night because, as you can see, it&#039;s not the most detailed drawing in the world (all that work I did on the water is well-obscured by the steam...) but in retrospect, there&#039;s not much more I can do to it short of pulling out an anatomy book and trying to shade all the individual muscles. =/ Maybe I&#039;ll give that a try in the future, but for now, please to enjoy the almost-nakedness.<br /><br />Azalea is (C) <a href="https://dfreak235.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/f/dfreak235.gif" alt=":icondfreak235:" title="dfreak235"/></a> (me)<br />Swimsuit design by <a href="https://arconius.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/r/arconius.gif" alt=":iconarconius:" title="arconius"/></a><br /><br />EDIT: Random fixes here and there in response to some critique. Big thanks to EnigmaticThief and ShishiZurui.<br /><br />EDIT 2: A friend showed me this really cool tutorial on how to make lightning using the Difference Clouds filter, so I decided to try it on the mana ball, since the streams of energy coming from it are meant to be lightning-like. Huzzahs are in order. ^^
