A test pic from an older pending trade, this is  oddensesantly's "Evenopalty Darkness", twin sister to Odd.

Since this trade was agreed upon near the beginning of the year, (we both had a lot of projects at the time, so a binding schedule wasn't set on this one) I put some extra effort into this pic, adding a gradient backdrop, colored lineart, shading and highlighting. I figured I should do at least that much, seeing as how Odd's Photoshop-fu has gotten so good (example).

But this isn't the trade pic--believe it or not. I did this while sitting in Artist's Alley at Anthrocon 09, (being that I was getting jack s**t in sales >:) ). Initially it was just a bust shot, then I decided to add as much of the rest of her outfit as possible. Normally I avoid cutting off the bottom of a character if I'm doing more than a bust shot, but I didn't plan on this being a complete pic when I started it.
