Well, we were eight fans away from 500 when I first started to paint this one. When I finished it we had 498, then 499, and I really planned to post this one today, so, well, do you guys mind if I post it right now? ^^
I’d like to thank everyone from this community for all the comments, for caring, and for the awesome feedback. It’s been fun as hell to work on these submissions, even when there’s so little time to paint them. There are (surprisingly) at least two other paintings on the way, which means we probably won’t be delayed next week (hooray! LOL).
I had three ideas when I started this gallery, I mean, three ideas for my first submission. The last one was Epona, as you all know, and she became my favorite character of all, followed by the second one, Penelope. When I go back to her first paintings I think that Penelope has such a huge potential, mainly when it comes to bondage. I’m not really into bondage myself, but I see her aesthetic potential anyway (I really liked the final results for “can the pony play?”, for instance, and it still is one of the most “faved” submissions in this gallery). The first idea that I had - the one I didn’t even sketch at the time - was a Chun Li submission, but I knew I lacked the elements/techniques I’d need to do it, so I waited. I didn’t really wait for 500 fans/followers (I never thought we would get this far, to be frank), but I guess it seemed to be a good idea to give it a try and post her today. ^^
I guess that this is it. Thanks guys! =^_^=
p.s.: the words written on the wall are: "500名球迷。謝謝你們。", which is (traditional) Chinese for "500 fans. Thanks, guys". ^^
