Artist Comment
Continuing on my goal to do at least one artwork from every series I've seen (and somewhat liked), I present to you Haruka-neesama, Kana-chan, and Chiaki-sama, the 3 sisters from Minami-ke :)
There are two scans from Okawari that I really love, but I didn't have any ideas for them, so I came to this scan from the 1st season and decided it's a good image to represent the series. Plus it's adorable ^^ And it's a Megami scan <33
The vector wasn't hard, and went much faster than I expected. Hardest part was probably the hands, easiest part was colouring. I liked the subtle colours of the original scan so I only brightened them up a little bit.
I vectored the background because it looked simple and fun, and would be more fitting for the image than a gradient or something. I had fun adding patterns to different things (although I don't like the pattern I used for the carpet, but I couldn't look for more at the time).
The title is "Rare Moment of Peace", because anyone that's seen Minami-ke knows having Kana and Chiaki in the same room is going to result in extreme chaos and multiple declarations of "bakayaro"...unless they're sleeping :P
-Lotsa Stats-
Time:
-Haruka, Kana, & Chiaki: 11.5 hrs + 5 hrs 15 mins = 16 hrs 45 mins

That's all; hope you like this one ^^ Thanks to all who comment, fave, or full-view <3
