Here's my first attempt (well, version 2) of applying color to a grey-scale picture from the mishimmie, 729.jpg, it was a parody with Emi for Fate Stay Night.

I originally made it as a square icon/avatar (for 120x120), but didn't work so well as it didn't turn out clear enough for me when I shrank it. I made minor adjustments to the color for this version to make it look better but probably still looks amateurish
