Okay! About time I actually posted some real art on here.

This is a gift for my good friend, *Shanella. I normally don't put as much effort into my drawings as I should because of how long they take, but I made this drawing - using the best of my abilities - as a big thank-you present for all the things she's done for me over the years. :3

These gals are Zeba (left) and Zabe (right), two punk Koopa twins created and designed by Shan. They are a very rambunctious, provocative and amoral pair that work as maids for Valena's uncle in the day, and become ruthless fighters at night. They are members of a female assassination unit called the "Crimson Maids" for an organization called the Crimson Steels, led by the dreaded Lord Viat whose purpose is to exterminate the Koopa Clan and to claim Dark Land as theirs. While Viat approached and appealed to the other girls' fondness for adventure and fighting, Zeba and Zabe seemingly joined because they had "nothing better to do". Every now and then, the twins would occasionally come over to Valena's place to hang out - much to Sakura's joy and Jewel's annoyance.

Part of the reason why I haven't been truly active on devART is because I take such an extremely long time drawing pictures, and this one is no exception. This pic had taken me over a year to complete - on-and-off - but in all honestly, I'm really proud of the way this turned out. This just might be one of my better pictures to date.

Hope you like!
