Endlich ein Update! - Kiss to Kill & Modern Angel (Attention: super picture heavy!)

Hello hello  everybody! :3

Long time no see! First of all: I hope all of you had lovely Christmas holidays and were able to take some time off, relax, spend time with your family, friends and loved ones. I'm sure I did!

Furthermore, I wish you all a (late) Happy New Year! May 2012 become a better year then 2011.
For me, the last year was quite a bad one, very stressful, emotionally challenging and health-wise a total catastrophe. :( I have high hopes for 2012!

Artwise, the last year hasn't been too successful as well. I barely managed to draw at all, mainly due to the time-factor, but also due to a lack of motivation and inspiration, and a crappy tablet.
But now, Santa has brought me a brand new Wacom tablet! XD OH THE LOVE! And I'm eager to try it out. So hopefully, I'll be more productive soon!

I also want to thank all of you who stayed with me during 2011! I'm still in awe to see that there are roughly 140 of you following this blog (well, more or less following, I guess!) I know I'm a horrible blogger who updates only once in a blue moon, but I have love for this blog, so I'll keep it up as long as there are still people who want to see it.

So thank you so much for putting up with me!

Anyways - as every year I offered Secret Santa gifts to my followers on DeviantArt and Tumblr, and I managed to finish 2 in time, a third one will come later on. And because it was obviously a secret, I couldn't show you an progress shots earlier. So - here's a gigantic art update!
