Akemi (persona)

Edit 2: Thanks to for the name Akemi, which I decided to use!

Edit: Added secondary shading I forgot;;;;;

(Copy/paste from blog)
So I decided to create a persona for myself purely on a whim; I was Skyping with and somewhere along the conversation I was inspired to draw/invent stuff soooo this is what happened.

I'm still trying to think of a name for her, so I'm open to suggestions. (>u<)b Something...happy/cheery/sparkly! ouo

Her color scheme is purple, black, and blue--the blue came from Ooka-chan's lovely suggestion; I showed her the WIP and said it needed more color, but I wasn't sure which one nor where exactly to put it. Thanks to her help, I think the end result turned out quite nicely. I was originally thinking of giving her more of a deco style, with lots of bright colors, but in the end I do quite like this.

*wants to cosplay* owo

The background is another random...quick crayon-tool sketch that was originally orange but got changed to blue because it's easier on the eyes... Before that it was a classroom, but that idea lasted only a short while because it was taking too long. -A-
AND THE DESK. The desk was so hard;;;; I had to use a reference. (And I actually don't need to feel bad about that...using a ref ensures that my drawing is accurate. orz)

I'll make a page for this chara here on my blog and hopefully give her a name soon. Haha...

Full reference picture (one that includes shoes) will be up soon. I'll link it here when it is. ^^

Time: (lost track) 5-6 hours, I think
