_{He allegedly fell for me
through an open window
Cracked his chest open
to reveal his heart
still skeptic of my intentions
he made me swear
that I would always be there
I will always be here

Oh I’m in love
Again, again
And you may call me tomorrow my friend, yes
You may kiss me again and again
I’ll hold on tight
-I'm In Love (Cause and Effect, 2008)

MARIA MENA! Her songs give me that warm and fuzzy feeling people often associate with romance. I always like to sing along and dance around to You're the Only One. She always makes me feel right.

Finally, a new finished output. This time around I used a different technique (saying that makes me feel like a ninja ) with doing the skin. Used a rather weird mix of colors for the skin and used different blending modes. I was also quite particular about layering and transparencies. I do think I messed the neck a bit though. But yeah, the color wheel shiznit in my art classes really did pay off here.

Moreover, there's no lineart since I noticed it looks more painted without it (whatever that means). Or that I kinda got tired of doing line art.
Anyway, I'm rather satisfied with how this turned out.
