's birthday was on, so I sent them a belated greeting, and this one even more so late. =w=
Wanted to play around with 'natural' colours for the background to give a woodland vibe to it. Figured it'd fit with the animesque fairy princess design I was going with her OC for this bday present. And I threw in some added experimentation with shading for good measure. It's a bday gift, that warrants the extra effort to show how much you appreciate their friendship. ^3^
