Little weekend illustration. I needed a break of some other projects I am working on.

This image is based on this sketch I did some time ago.

I remember being quite frustrated back then for not being able to color it as I was so busy with work at that time. Not that I am any less busy now, so I had to settle for a very simple background.

Although the original sketch was nice, when rendering it I could not help to notice how the pose was too close to the official Swimsuit Iris artwork. Since the original sketch was a close-up, it was hard to notice then, but as you can see, I expanded the scene to show more information. At that moment I got discouraged to draw her feet as well.

I know I can do better and this was just some inking practice, but this was coming along rather well so I decided to publish it anyway. To compensate, I did some overall color effects to somehow set it apart.
