Ummm no I saved some cool stuff on my computer. So whatever it is that jumps out at me and I save then I know it's beautiful. I'm obsessed with the female form, mostly. I think I'm a lesbian.

Red Priest Usada has a lot of good ones but Madame Peacock stuck out to me. The color scheme is fantastic. The curvature of her waist to hips matches the ribbons flowing down. It's been my desktop since forever.
