Never show my tears

This is the big project I've been working on lately. I was trying out a bunch of new tools in Sai following some new tutorials.

_{All tutorials I use can be found in my favorites}

I've lost track of how much time I've spent on this picture. Most of the drawing was done in Sai, with minor touch-ups in PhotoShop CS5. My tool of the trade is my trusty Cintique 21UX.
