Kairi, A Wizard Did it

Oh noes! Kairi's been kidnapped by one of them Wizard fellows in the games! My part of a trade for SteeL. Also, I suck at text bubbles. Like, really bad. I hope the art makes up for it~

Tried a new form of shading, and I'm interested on whether it looks better or worse to some people~ It certainly took more effort. That doesn't always mean it'll be better, though.

That's how my shading looked prior.

Enough blabbing. Comments, tips, muffins and Soda appreciated.
