EXTREME EMOTIONAL STRESS
I feel TERRIBLE right now....
I mean TERRIBLE.....

I was finishing up the lineart for TMMchica's art trade, and I spent 4+hours on the lineart...
it came out FANTASTIC! And I was soo proud of it


But then came the coloring....


I wasn't THAT worried about the coloring, because I've gotten better at it, but this was my FIRST time coloring an African-American mew, and I was really scared for my limited color selection.
So I colored the clothes, the hair, the shoes, and fans, no big deal....
but then I came to the skin.

And it came out TERRIBLE.
The skin choice color was so dark I had to redo some of the lineart on the face...and that ruined it even more. She was really happy and smiling, but after redoing the lineart to make it stand out, she was frowning...
Not to mention that the outline of the eye wasn't right... it looked REALLY distinctive, and that isn't something I normally do with my pictures...

I was SO upset that I actually cried about it.
And I still am.

I mean, it's just a picture, but it's not like it's for me, it's for TMMchica. I'm REALLY sorry, Chica-chan, but I don't think I'll be able to redo it... this TOTALLY crushed everything... but I'll try.

*Sighs and cries even more* It's just a picture, but I spent SOOO much time on it, and it makes me REALLY upset...6 and a half hours just for designing, drawing, and lineart... and the coloring took another 2 hours... and it came out terrible in the end.
This may seem like a stupid thing to get upset about, but I worked REALLY hard on that pic and it ended up being totally ruined in the end. So bad I don't think Chica-chan would really like it.
Yes, I am somewhat of a perfectionist, but that's not it in this case. This time it's just the fact I worked REALLY hard on something and it all came out terrible in the end. And that it wasn't for me, it was for a friend.
That's why I'm crying, and that's why I'm under extreme emotional stress right now. Sorry everyone for that huge rant, but I feel so awful. *huggles you all for consolation*
