Contest Prize: Saffron

Contest Prize for

Whuuush~ A picture is done. After being out of home for two weekends now I took the chance of this advanced weekend to finish off another picture. I don't know, when I looked trough my worklist I wondered which contest prize I should do next and I felt like finishing off the one for =allbowdown.
All in all this picture took me two days, I sketched the picture yesterday in the afternoon (took 1 hour), then I inked and base colored it - afterwards I went to bed. I did the shading today after having sushi for lunch with my grandpa and having dinner with my parents at our favourite pizzeria. Seriously - I ate too much today *dies and drings water* too much tasty food x__x Hm, whatever, I guess all in all this picture took me 7 hours, divided up on two days. Who knows, maybe I'll get another picture done during the next days or at least another sketch :3
Hm... in the end... I like this picture somehow. I wanted to draw something more dynamic, something out of the usual. But usually - for doing so - I need a picture without a scene background. So well, abstract background -> me is getting experimental The only thing I'm barely happy with is Saff's left hand, which just looks weird to my mind. But it's the right way around... I'm sure o_o;
Uh... *does not know what to say more* Well... sadly I cannot name you the original authors of the abstract brushes I used for the background :/ I hope you'll excuse that .__.

Hmm... have a nice weekend or something I'll have one, because... the sun finally shines, the temperatures are nice and I'm in a good mood = ) Yay~
