Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Wallpaper: Rainy Afternoon

*drained* My first time coloring the WHOLE WALLIE! DDD: and it took me gow knows how many hours. I already forgot the time i allocated for each. All i know i did it for 2 days cause i started at 10am yesterday and finished this at 1:?PM of today. Of course i slept! for about 10hrs. :3 and ate as well.

As you can see its a crap. :3 Well, it's my first time trying this and i wanted some feedbacks thats why i posted it here. Godbless me. XD I lineart this scan which i saw while i was wondering around minitokyo. I saw this and drooled thinking *what a hot bishie!* although i dunno who he was and what series he was in. XD Yeah, sorry for messing up this hot bishie but i really do want to try *hides*. Also,i wanted to try out SAI as well for coloring after i lineart it on PS but it looks like it hates me for the meantime and messed up my first draft.(<-beginner/amateur). So i switch back again to PS. *heavy sigh* After i i finished getting my hands all over him, i did the BG. It really took me a while to think what will be the BG. Since he is wet, i thought of the BG behind him to be raining. But i dunno how to make one then i find some very useful tut about how to and its extremely easy. XD Although the rain don't fit quite well i leave it like that. XD And Since again, i put the scan in the middle i have to put something on his side and there does the sliding door which i got the idea from the stock i had. I got the title because its raining hard today here. Actually more like a storm. D:

I can't detail everything cause i still feel dizzy.. @__@ Hope it will be liked and critics/feedbacks/comments are much appreciated. =D
