○ Scarlet: Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to use sharp lines and bright colors for the character to reflect some sort of modernity, but keep the background more suggestive and loose. I agree that the hand looks a little stiff. The reference I used was in that pose, and I probably should have tried to modify it. Hands aren't really my strongpoint, as you can see, haha, and I'm pretty sure that putting scissors on top of that weakness is what made it all the more difficult. At one point I wanted to omit the scissors altogether, but I was like, nuuuuu ;______; it need scissors! XD I thought that I overdid the folds at first, but I think I like them now.
