the original picture is from chapter 1 of Shinshi Doemei Cross (page 39/46) that i saw a while back on mangareader (if you havent read the manga, it is one that i'd recommend reading ^^) seen here: http://www.mangareader.net/274-19205-39/shinshi-doumei-cross/chapter-1.html

i drew this only becuase i wanted to mess around with my crayola crayons a bit :P i had fun and tried to practice drawing feathers which ive never considered myself very good at. whilst drawing i did have a picture for referance (i REALLY wanted to get the details right)

i take no credit for the actual design as both the character Haine Otomiya and the picture of her i have imitated are credited to the brilliant Arina Tanemura ^^ but that poor excuse for a background is my own :P
