This is a re-upload from my old FA gallery again, but this one is special. It's the first one where the coloration is actually right!

A few of you probably know I've been feeling down lately. dakotawolf certainly knew it. So she found a way to brighten my day. And damn.

From my message to dragonsintheattic:

"I've actually been feeling down the last few days, but *damn* if this doesn't make me feel a hell of a lot better. The color is *perfect*, and I love the little shy smile. Goodness knows I'm wearing the same one as I type this. ^^;;

I loved this from the sketches all the way to the completed inks and colors. Absolutely beautiful. It's exactly what I'd envisioned with a few little flares thrown in that I love even more! ^^"
