Elaine:「My, You're Right On Time Today」
Elaine Auclair from Kuro no Kiseki. I also drew this Valentine's illustration as a counter to the one of Agnes-san, but we're actually closer to White Day at this point. But! I believe that even if I'm too late, it'll be alright if I keep love in my heart!!
Anyway, aren't her attire and accesories way too elaborate? Looking back, I must have had more than 80 layers just to draw her alone. I'm glad to finally be done. I think my right shoulder is about to fall off, but I don't regret it at all :-)
I checked Pixiv after lunch and found I reached #117 in the daily rankings! Thank you :-)
