Whew! this took a while…

This is for the CyberConnect2 Kemono Book 3 Twitter contest!
It was super last minute, since it is due on June 9, and i found out about it on June 2 during hell week at work. I really wanted to work on this so i dug up ideas and old sketches i could use to make the pic and I was SUUUPER LUCKY to find an old composition from 2008, and decided to paint and edit on from there!

I rarely render things with background let alone crowd shots! Had to sacrifice a lot of sleep to finish this.

But man it felt good to do a big piece like this. I hope I can make time and have more energy to make more images of this level. Specially super happy for my friends who helped me in making this pic through feedback!

I also included an animated gif progression on my Tumblr for those interested! http://ben-bendraws.tumblr.com/

Now the long nervous wait begins! @___@
