so this picture was an experiment on:

a. color
b. lighting
c. head position (slightly looking down but... you can't tell xD)

And it came out better than I expected but light source from behind/side is hard.. (plus the nose and lips and hand look awful XD)

I also have a tendency to do like.. faded circular border around my pictars nowadays. hmm xD

And also, the "X" mark is just makeup I guess? I was watching a show at ~xanglira's house called THE SHOT (xD) and one of the models had makeup sort of like that and I loved it.

Outlines were done with sharpie/black pencil but you can't really tell haha. Sorry this picture is so big, but I can't bring myself to resize.

^{Another color scheme I would have used instead of black and pink would have been light yellow and green.. xD
Also, here is the original version that is slightly duller; [link] the one you're looking at is more intensified.}
