Okay, so... I hit a bit of a funk early this weekend and thought about putting down the pencil for good, and ~<a class="u" href="https://roonstown.deviantart.com/">Roonstown</a> suggested I find my muse and draw something that I can reliably fall back on. Naturally, this meant drawing me in the most appropriate scene I could think of. And at the time, I could think of nothing better than a scene involving me trying to calm myself in the face of many sources of pain and stress, represented by the abstract red tentacle-things in the background.<br /><br />The red background also explains why my skin looks redder than usual. &gt;_&gt; So before anyone asks, no, I did not get sunburned like I did in San Diego last year. I just decided to play around with the color balance and this is the result.<br /><br />Considering how difficult the pose was, I think it turned out pretty good. ^^<br /><br />Azalea is (C) <a href="https://dfreak235.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/f/dfreak235.gif" alt=":icondfreak235:" title="dfreak235"/></a> (me)<br /><br />EDIT: Some changes have been made following some critiques, mostly involving the shape of the jaw and breasts. I also made the lighting a little more extreme on the left side and reddened up the right side even more. The full size version is now slightly bigger.
