Gackt and Belle

. . . .o_o;;;;;<br />
<br />
I have gone through what seems like complete hell for this picture. OMGackt. <br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Something I did to include in my college porfolio, as well as enter in Muse's Gackt fanart contest. My third realism, as well as my first dog! I'm kind of proud. ^_^<br />
<br />
There are some proportional problems, but I like to think they are rather vague. Belle also ended out being a little light in the face. She's normally a mahogany brown, but all in black in white, she appeared light coloured. I decided to try a few new things with this, as well as doing the shirt in colour for contrast, and I'm quite happy with it. <br />
<br />
By the way, Belle is a miniature long hair dashaund. That's why she looks so small. She really is that small (or close to it). <br />
<br />
<br />
Comments, compliments, FAVOURITES! Well, if you want. But I can't say I wouldn't love ya for it. I sacrificed a lot for this piece, and it deserves some special treatment. Maybe?<br />
