Even when I'm not there, I'm still there

Killarney Anime Club Banner
Well, howdy there. Welcome to my first post of October.
...and that's all I have to say about that, really.

I'm pretty sure that most of you already knew that I was part of my high school's anime club as an executive last year. For those of you who didn't, well, are you really surprised? Obviously, I'm not in it now because I don't even attend high school anymore, but that's not the point. The point is is that I was asked to do the banner for club's day and I agreed, even though anime club is just one of those clubs which really doesn't need the publicity because we get a bunch of members on clubs day (it's the staying part which we have an issue).

Most time was spent on the girl and the boy. I used them as a guinea pig, in a sense, to find a simple, but sell-able, colouring style I could use for my prints as I know not everyone is into my painterly, messy style. I know I'm bending my uniqueness to suit other's taste, but that's how these kind of things works... until you get famous and everyone is pining for your stuff, anyways.
I found out that playing with filters is very useful.

As for the rest of it... yeah, it's as lazy as it looks. Just a whole bunch of splatter brushes in different colours, tweaks here and there, and voila! At least it's predominantly white, yet colourful, as instructed. Probably pretty eye catching, though it's not the couple which makes it so.

I drew another girl I was planning to add onto the banner, but scrapped it because I fell out of favour for her once I starting doing the lineart.
She was supposed to sit on the letters.
As a side note, I find it depressing how I'm having so much difficulty doing my homework right now. It's depressing because all we're doing is drawing, and school has managed to give me headache. Why, IAT 106? Why are you tearing me away from my love?
(Well, at least this is technical drawing and not creative, artistic drawing, otherwise that really would've been depressing.)


Drawn in SAI.
Edited it in Photoshop.
