The hardest cards for me to make are the ones for my son and husband, but I think my son is hardest! He is turning 15 and I wanted to come up with something that was cool and not too young looking. I was thinking about his interests and he is really into anime and manga, most recently he really likes Hatsune Mikuo. He even cosplayed as Hatsune Mikuo at a recent Comicon event. He is an excellent artist and draws perfect pictures of his favorite characters so I didn't want to even try to free hand draw something like that. I couldn't compete! Instead, I decided to cut out a shirt and tie like the one Hatsune wears. The arm on the shirt normally has the number 01, I'm not sure why, but Juliette suggested I use 15 instead since he's turning 15. Hope he likes it! I had a different card before, but wasn't thrilled with it so I made this one instead.
