As you can see, I’m beginning to slowly get back into designing my own layouts. But you’ll probably also notice they’re nothing like the style I used to do. No fancy stuff, really simple, centred, two column layouts. Although, instead of using anime/manga images or photographs by other people, I now use my own. It takes a lot more effort but it’s worth it! Right?

Anyway, this one features Suigintou from Rozen Maiden. I don’t remember anything about the anime but I think what she’s wearing looks cool and I also like her hair! I changed her eye colour though. It’s supposed to be red but I wanted to use more blue in my layout. I might make some small changes over the next few days but nothing major.

As for the main image of Suigintou itself.. It took around two hours to draw and another seven or so hours to colour. Yeah, I’m really slow. But then I was doing like three other things at the same time! .. Okay, that’s not much of an excuse.

I got the idea from an image of her, sort of similar to this and thought, ‘Wow, I can use this somehow!’ But when I got to actually making a layout out of it.. Well, it wasn’t so easy. Oh well, I managed to come up with something. Hehe. (Obviously I don’t plan out my own layouts too much before I start making them.)

And that’s all I really have to say about this one~
