Inner Strength

I suddenly got the inspiration and feeling that I needed to draw Kei with a sword, and I simply could not deny her request for a sword.
I absolutely love this drawing. To bits. And I am happy I made it through a stream so that it can become a speed painting later on (most likely within a week) so you all can see the process to do this drawing.
It was kind of a school assignment also. We are to color one picture in photoshop to get use to the program, but a digital artist like me has no problem with photoshop xD so I made something super serious for school LOOL

I believe this is how Kei sees her own strength. Her inner strength. People always underestimates her and believes she isn't strong. But she is surely strong enough in her own measurement. Just because she cries doesn't mean she is weak. She is just strong enough to show her emotions out in the open.
