And now people, it is time to excavate that poor and long forgotten thread !
Everything went downhill with: may/june exams, family trip at LA, huge work on umineko patch, and inspiration block out >_>
That said, finally go through this horrible state!
Bern-chan!
Witch of Miracles, Bernkastel, from
Umineko no Naku Koro ni.
This signature was hellish as I already had hard time to select the picture I wanted to use (there aren't many good looking fanart for Bernkastel, and none were the cold/lifeless I wanted to use). In the end, some cuty one, though I tried to put emphasis on her observer stance with the "planar BG" I tried to craft for... 2-3 hours (smudge and lots of patience...)
I tried my best for her blending, so she won't "appose" her presence, nor she would feel "part of the BG" either. Hence, as she is quite the observer, I used soft colors and 3-4 blending modes in order to give the feeling she is "fading in/out".
as you can see, I'm still a BLUE lover
