It's been a while since I drew something good, and I felt like drawing something along the lines of "a spiffy pose with lots of awesome pencil-shading that I haven't really mastered at all". And recently I made a return to playing Symphonia... getting everyone's arse kicked in the arena (except Lloyd, of course, but he has Kusanagi)

About the picture, I don't think I've ever been more frustrated trying to draw a hand. In fact, I've been having problems with hands as of late *looks at doodles*. I must've looked odd with my arm in an odd position while holding a spatula with a puzzled expression on my face. Plus the scanner (as it always does) screwed with the shading and gradient and whatever you care to call it. Ah well.
