That's one of the nice things about digital coloring; you are not stuck with the color, but the color scheme looks great. The dramatic shading is very eye catching too.

Finished coloring it. I had the hardest time coloring this piece. At first I gave her blonde hair, then changed it to brown and ultimately decided on black. XP I also colored her eyes blue in the beginning, but changed them to green down the line. Choosing the colors for her dress also went through a lengthy process of hit and miss. First it was purple, then green, then red, and then finally blue. Whew! I'm very happy with the final result. ^_^
As stated before on the lineart, similarities between this and Perfect Blue and FFXI are not intended. I haven't seen or played either. =P My inspiration was taken from Soul Calibur II and Shadow Hearts II (which is the most awesome RPG I've played in a while btw). She's also holding a scroll. =Þ I'm not quite sure what she's doing either. The pose just kinda came out. XP
Enjoy!

OMG! She looks so pretty! I think you did a great job on the shading and her clothes are just fantastic, really. It's simple yet elegant and it all comes together really well.
I also like your finishing touches with the sparkles... hehe... XP
Keep up the good work!
