Card Captor Sakura and Tomoyo

I'll be honest, I've only seen one episode of Card Captor Sakura and shoujo manga isn't usually my thing, but I just fancied drawing a bit of fanart with a fetishy flavour! Probably not to most people's tastes but that's art for ya.

I have mixed feelings about this one. Overall it looks pretty good. I made the effort to put in a hand drawn BG (although it's 95% referenced) and ink the piece. I even spent probably around 50 hours cleaning up practically every single line on Photoshop after scanning to make it look crisp and smooth for large scale print However, it's taken way longer than I wanted to spend on it and the inking and clean up stage drained most of my enthusiasm for the piece. I will need to consider different methods of working for the future if I don't wanna get bored with seemingly endless "fixing" and "polishing" instead of having fun by pumping out ideas and new designs.

There are still a few flaws, mainly down to getting impatient and rushing things! But I hope these will seem less obvious once I get around to CGing it. Why do I punish myself with this level of detail?
