chokes on background

Anyway, this is the second contest prize. I've been quite slow in getting this out because of school and other commitments, but I finally got this done.

(I probably should have made a rule that the prizes will be done from smallest to largest, but oh well. I needed examples for commissions anyway.)

I'm actually quite surprised by how well this turned out. This is my first time using custom brushes for anything that looks slightly good (I made the leaves with my own brush), and I also made myself a nicer-looking signature.
