I finally managed to convert the NEF files to JPEG!

Next, I'll work with Adobe PS tomorrow so that I can post and send the files to the girls~

GOODNIGHT ! ! ! !

The grand prize winner for the guitar design contest is out!

Well, I didn't get the top spot.

Yet surprisingly, mine was included in the top 8 designs!

There were just too many entries way better than my poorly made pen and pencil sketch,

it took me a few minutes to process what was happening.

A dear friend of mine - Maggie, was really nice to translate Aoi-san's comment on my work.

I thank her so much for enlightening me on that matter.

THANKS MAGGIE!!! You're the BEST!!!! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

According to Maggie, the comment says something like this,

"This work is really of my taste.
With a little bit of good balance , it will be much better (= it will be cool !)
and you must show your originality."

(^^;) I guess, I could have made it look more original
if I didn't stick too much to Aoi-san's 艶～en～body structure.

But when I made this design, 艶～en～ was the perfect structure for the image I have.
A woman's profile + flowing black hair + ruined mask + smoke coming out from the eyes.

P.S.

Here's an image of the original sketch I made before sending it to ESP last month
I really had fun sketching this one!
