SubAssist and Starl0v3

Commission for SubAssist and Starl0ve. I keep on telling myself to work more on rendering clothing, but I keep on working more on other things XD I tried to keep the brush strokes as energetic as possible, to give it a more painterlike appearance than digital. Before, I used line art and then thought about shadows, but after looking at some of sinix's videos, I thought maybe to think about shadow and lighting first rather than line art then shadow and lighting. So this is the result.

Wouldn't you like to dance in a swirl of cherry blossoms?
