Hi guys! ^_^

Oooh! Look at how clean this is! I really like the little dots of purple in the hair; it's able to tie the picture together.

The obvious lack of effort into this is really disappointing.

I don't think "effort" is the word you're looking for. This picture was a lot harder than it looks.

It actually looks like it took about 10 minutes with the copy and horizontal flips tools with slight alterations and basic shading.

Not challenging at all.

The only thing I copied and flipped was the eye outline. Everything else was done by hand and the line tools. If it looks the same on both sides, that's because it was intentionally done that way. You should try this style before you say it's easy. It took several hours.
