BirthdayWishes and RamenDreams

If i ink anymore, i'll go bonkers! I've been inking a lot of commissions, which is why i haven't really posted anything. Anyways... I wasn't sure if i felt right drawing a picture for my best est friends birthday since i am knee deep in commissions and they come first. Well, after a while, i felt that its a shitty excuse to not do something for someones birthday, cause of work.. In between inking two big commissions, i sketched this out and finished it. It honestly helped me a lot cause i miss coloring. I've been inking so much.

Anyways. Whee its Shampoo! I tried to go for an older looking style that wasn't like the show/manga, or my style. Shampoo is one of my friends fav girls.. So i drew her to fit his likes. And yes there is an ugly watermark in the middle.. Sorry but with whats been going on with my friends art recently, i will now be putting them right in the middle of my pictures. Blame all the jerks who love to steal peoples art, cause they are the reason ugly watermarks have to go through pretty art now.(EDIT) OH also.. I have NO IDEA what the kanji means. They are in a brush set for Photoshop, and they don't tell you what they mean.. So i don't know.
