If only for one night

Let me hold you tight
If only for one night
Let me keep you near
To ease away the fear
It would be so nice
If only for one night

I want tell a soul
No one has to know
If you want to be totally discreet
I'll be at your side
If only for one night

(Inspired by that song, but actually colored to more Micheal Jackson, I think xD)

This was mostly practice for the color tips I've been studying (which I also did here [link] but this one as more shading and such.)
- tinting the colors using the background as a... "tinting ref" I guess you could say. I'm not a painter, so I don't know if I did that right.... Getting Larxene to not be either BRIGHT YELLOW or overly orange was hell.
- shadow colors; purple for red, blue for yellow but I used the same orange for highlights - it could be fire or something xD
- using the background color in the picture itself - I used it in the shadows, as well as reflected color. Though that's kinda low; I didn't want it to look like weird highlights or something.
- Color Balance filters. Those are cool as hell.

Pose is a little wonky but I used a photo ref [link] and hey, that's how the cat's legs are xD I also managed to get a copy of Photoshop CS4 Trying to get used to it again x3
