くるみ割り人形 (Kurumi Wari Ningyou) = The Nutcracker

Well my lady friends, here's a rare treat from me to you: a bishounen! And of course, no bishounen is complete without a rat king.

I realize that the nutcracker looks a lot more like a pirate than a soldier and that the rat king looks more like a musketeer than a seven-headed villain, but when you've grown your fingernails out as long as I have, everything is permissible.

Anyhow, I improved on the vector drawing technique I used in Setako and used radial gradients for the coloring, resulting in a much softer look (and a lot more lag on my computer). I've also applied the glowy effects from Steamstress (to my computer's grief) and for reasons beyond my understanding, another crow in the corner. I guess Princess Tutu was just too awesome.

Well, this took about maybe 10 hours to complete. It was exhausting, but I'm very pleased with the outcome. *rubs monitor* My apologies for the really huge dimensions - I like to sport the vectorness of it, but for some reason the filesize goes up 4x on dA when I set it to fullview at a smaller scale.

Rat king rules.
