I finally finished the damn Negima trace. I want to say "never again am I tracing manga" but I'll probably do it again someday. In fact, I sort of enjoyed it, it was a nice change. It certainly took me long enough, I started tracing the panel more than a year ago, and finished three traces inbetween: Alucard, Louise, and Asuka.
Oh well, it's done, and now I can focus on my next artsy-fartsy trace. It's another Haruhi trace, but don't expect it soon. Really, don't. Do, however, check out the wallpaper I made using the new trace. It's in my scraps.
