*Totally late to the party because I've been internet deprived the past few days. XD* Firstly, glad to finally see the results! Secondly, I have a few responses to the commentary on my piece...

I would have liked to see the digital version of this but too bad it wasn't submitted in time.
I wasn't aware that the digital version would have been accepted since it was, well, digital. It was posted to my DeviantArt later the same day I posted the original, but I felt that the digital color would have made it digital rather than traditional, and therefore didn't submit it.

As for the remarks about the lack of shading and background, I'll be honest--after getting really into doing digital color work, I found going back to colored pencil a bit...odd. The uneven texture drove me crazy, and I'm not one to bear down hard on the paper, so I kinda got tossed over on that one, and it discouraged me from really trying to shade the piece, which I'm not all the great at anyway. The scanner butchered colors, so though her skin DOES have color in person, none of that showed up when it scanned. *grumbles on about lighting and color* As for background...yeah. I almost never do them. Namely because I have a horrible time with them, and I have yet to have a class that's taught me how to improve in making them. XD

For those who haven't seen the digital image yet, it can be found here.
