Behold the mini-skirted kitsune girl!

^o^ First fanart in ages, this is!

I adore the Negima manga sooooooo much!!! Even more than I adored Lovehina. When I heard of Negima, I was like: "KEN AKAMATSU-SENSEI MADE ANOTHER MANGA? CARMEN WAAAAANTS IT! ^____^" But my parents don't let me buy much manga (or maybe it's just 'cause I'm cheap and don't like to spend money), so I had to borrow them all from one of my friends. I read volume 11 two weeks ago! AND SQUEE FOR NEGI IN A MINI-SKIRTED KITSUNE GIRL COSTUME!

So, uh, anyway. *coughs* What started out as a silly sketch turned into the best honking drawing and coloring I'm ever done. Even the inking turned out great (except for Kotaro, Yuna and Ayaka in the background, whom I wasn't even going to put in the final drawing, but the pencil lines showed up on the scan, so whatever) and I usually botch that if nothing else. This is obviously one of the starting scenes from book 11, where Yuna dresses Negi up in a mini-skirted kitsune ("fox") girl costume to attract customers to their haunted house event at the MahoraFest. Then Ayaka a.k.a. Class Rep comes along to stop her, but faints with a massive nosebleed and convulsions upon seeing Negi all dolled up. XD And Kotaro just laughs, seeming to convieniently forget that he's wearing a bear costume. But anyway... it was a "you have to read it" moment.

Sooooo pretttyyyy coloriiiiing... O_O And the lines are so crisp and clean. How did I do that? And without reference too!

Oh... and please ignore the lamebrained background.
