Toradora

I honestly thought at the convention that Toradora would be huuuuge, but in the end, it was very rare, and somewhat obscure to the majority of congoers. The only Toradora merch was the table behind me that had Tenori Taiga cellphone charms, and then there was my table with this one. I'm happy people recognized it and bought it in the end. ;^;

About the Piece
I was seriously relieved to have this picture done in time for the convention. Once I finished it, I was happy to have it out of the way. It was just such a massive file size that it took forever to load up or save whenever I needed to, so it just became a frustrating piece to work on. I was supposed to have it ready for Sakura Con, but I didn't have any motivation to finish it. This time around, however, for AE, I got off my lazy butt and finished it. I'm overall happy with how it turned out - the group picture and the vibrant colours worked really well together. <3
