This piece was originally drawn for a 2004 anime calendar, which had to feature: A babe, something to do with my chosen month- October and to include the theme, 'Journeys'. I decided to go for a modern-gothic witch girl, for Halloween of course and I like the overall composition and colours. The background was drawn separately, scanned in and added underneath the character illustration on another layer. I'll look forward to checking out the final calendar which contains art from 11 other UK anime artists.
