Lost Wings - Asako (Bird Strike)

As part of an expansion on the old In Search of Lost Wings series of drawings I first started years ago (beginning with Broken Miho), I sat down to do a few more drawings for the next Megatokyo Omnibus and, well... got a bit carried away. Asako is a character that really is beginning to surprise me. She's the loud, brash, bouncy girl who is Yuki's friend and fits one standard stereotype of character, but... i've found when i experiment with her character i am often surprised by what might be underneath all that genki rocket fuel. Lots of symbolism in this one, i will let people wonder. :) There are layers of all sorts of meaning in these images which it's kinda fun to get carried away with. One thing i did differently this time with these drawings was i used color pencils with the COPIC markers to add more texture to the color.
