This is Yue, one of the eligible bachelorettes from Rune Factory 2, a game that's coming out in mid-October (that is... if they don't push the release date back more).
Her outfit was pretty complicated and I'm not sure I understand it still (it's like she's wearing a coat... and has sleeves that go behind it or under it or something. I think she's wearing a loose coat and her arms don't actually go in it so they go under the coat?). But I'm content with it. I'd say it took about 2-3 hours, 53 colors.
Yeah, I got a bit messy with colors, but I tried to use a lot of similar ones. Noo clue how it added up to fifty so quickly. Usually I try to keep them down a little more than this, and I like using limited color palettes, but apparently when given the option to use a lot, I go overboard. :p
For some reasons i really like this. Probably because of the clothes. I usualy kind of hate everything that is in manga style. Because of rules that are sort of stupid some people will tell you that you used too many colors. You learn los of things by trying to use fewer colors but you dont have to respect this if you dont want. :P
