Selestria and Nova

Here is my (now over 1 week belated) birthday gift to my wonderful and talented friend and fellow artist, (her birthday took place on February 10th)!

As my gift to her this year, I wanted to draw an adorable picture of two beautiful characters of hers; Selestria/Adela (who is the daugther of Kiku/Chibi Cosmos) and Nova (in her cat form) together, and I'm so happy that I've done that, especially since this is actually my first time drawing these two characters, and I just love them both.

I'm really happy with the whole outcome of this artpiece, especially with how I drew the characters, as well as the way I colored & shaded the lineart. I hope that you'll enjoy this my dear friends (especially you, =Sailor-Serenity)!

Drawn on 11x8 1/2 sketchpad, with a No. 2 pencil (and in my own traditional art style), fixed, cleaned-up, colored & shaded by using Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edtion 3.0., and finalized on MS Paint (for thin boarder, and artists' signature).
