NEKO~!!!!!!! XD!!!!

So yea. It was either draw Satoka from Gatekeepers or draw a girl with wings. Sadly, I couldn't find any pics of this Satoka chick... so I settled for the hardness that is wings. x_x Grrr. I'm not all that satisfied with how this pic came out, but I have to admit that it looks pretty nice all inked up. I tried cross-hatching, so we'll see how you guys like it.

Comment please~!

I hope you guys like the title. I kinda' get the feeling like even though she's got wings and she can fly, this girl is still 'Rooted to the Ground', still stuck with her responsibilities or relationships down on the ground, so she's sort of tied down to it. Know what I mean?
