I love Amano's artwork and his style of drawing has always intrigued me. SO, I set out to try to replicate one of my favorite pieces of his. And, I must say drawing all those lines and all that hair has made me want to chop off my drawing hand TWICE! ^0^ It's too exhausting, physically! And, straining on my already poor eye-sight which I have to wear glasses for anyways! But, this is by far, the best piece of work I've ever had the opportunity to work on. May it also NOT be the last, but at least for a long while before I take on such a heavily-excessive detailed inspiration for my next ambitious project! ^0^

Now, have a look yourself and tell me if you disagree! lol ^0^

PS. It's not finished yet as you can see, but my friend Tsuk urged me to submit this as it is, and scan the finished product for before and after work in progress.

PPS. He's also the lucky recipient of this piece as a gift from me. So, go over and offer large amounts if you want to help him pay off his college debt and, maybe he'll sell it to you! ^0^ ROFLMAO
