BSSM: Serenity

This took a couple of days. As a result I slept poorly and felt sick on the last few. I'm a nut. I constantly thought "I'm insane", "Why did I decide to do this" and "I always do this... masochist"...
In the end, it turned out pretty good, I think. To do the drawing, it was 5000 pixels in height. When the outline, cleaning, coloring and background were done and combined, it was strunk down to the size it is now. If you know enough, the size took a lot of memory and I sometimes wondered if my computer would freeze or crash on me only to result in loing the whole bloody thing.
Despite that, there were annoying tid bits in regards to certain little details I forgot about, so I had to place them in cheaply and pathetically. Oops.
Uh...

I figured, I've evolved a bit with the computer drawing field since my editing the link above... so... why not take it further? I've done such with various Bleach pictures... why not an oldie?
I'm a freaking masochist... That, or an imbecile. Trying to discern the original picture was a pain. Coloring was a pain. Getting the right colors was a pain. The background was a pain. A lot of pain occurred... Huh. I'm tired - 'explains the rambling...
