Gift for Rekka Maiden

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year to all of you!  I hope 2017 is starting off well so far! I certainly hope that it will be much better than 2016 at least, but anyhow...  Well, I suppose this marks my first completed image for the year, and with any luck, this will be the beginning of several others! 

I posted the line art for this work last week, and as I said then, this is a little token of my appreciation for my good friend, .  In truth, I don't quite know what to say...  The two of us have been friends now for several years, and in that time, has been SO incredibly kind, supportive and encouraging to me!  I'm truly *truly* grateful and felt that I should do at least a *little* something to show my gratitude.   In all honesty, I don't even feel this is nearly enough for all that she's done for me, (including some lovely gift art that she's presented to me also  ) but I hope that the sentiment along with this piece means something too, as I mean it with all my heart, my friend! 

I suppose the image itself is pretty self explanatory. The two of us absolutely adore our beloved Pharaoh Atem and I wanted to depict him with her rendition of herself as an anime character as seen here: .
I thought the design was adorable, and I must say I had a lot of fun trying to do it justice!   I imagined that she/her character would be a little flustered meeting the young king in this way, so I had that in mind when drawing the piece; especially given that he seems rather interested in her as well in this image!   Heh, it's all in good fun! I really do hope that you like it .   You are a great friend to me and I hope to express that more often than I have!  Thank you for everything!   And thank you all for looking everyone!  Be on the look out for more in the future!  Hopefully soon! ^_^

Lots of love,
