My sketch was finished much earlier in the day today, and is something of a departure/callback to my earlier days.

Anyhow, I was a bit conflicted about posting this early, but wanted to give people who go to bed a bit earlier the chance to catch this one on the upload. Plus, since it's my own imposed challenge I sort of set the rules, and I figure I'll let this slide, it's only around two hours early from when I would've posted it anyway.

So anyhow, this is one of those simple straight up "take an existing anime character and slap some squishy fun on them" sort of pics that dominated my early deviations and is still the big push of the "community". I've got to say though, sometimes when I'm looking for a simple reference pic of like... Cammy on Google and the third result is a WG piece, I can sort of understand why the non-fetishists would get fed up after a while! Ha.

Longtime watchers will recall I've done a few of the Eiken girls before, making this my second official Chiharu pic. She's a bit smaller here, but I like the shape, colors, and basically everything about this piece a lot more. For fans of larger sizes I'm sure the old deviation will remain the favorite, but I hope you guys like it nonetheless. This is also sort of ~xyxtlin-style as he's the numero-uno dude for getting pics to look like their source anime (aside from maybe Kaneda and JayTee).

openCanvas (DID YOU DOUBT IT!??) and more time than I'd like to have spent on such an ultimately silly piece.

Also, Chiharu is sort of supposed to be like: "WHy is everyone staring?" *hehehehehehehehehehe, nervous laughter* But that was really moreso for my benefit!
