WHOO. This is an art trade with ApocalypticAya

Took the chance to experiment a little. I have tried painting rather recently and that was my original plan for this but it didn't look very good so I went with a soft shaded/painted look instead. The pose and all that was done with photo references of myself. Also the background, while I'm not 100% fond of it. Also this was the first drawing I've done in a long time that I scanned at 600dpi. (I've been using 300dpi.) I worked really hard on it and I think it turned out alright. Overall, it was a lot of work but also a lot of fun!

Something like this would cost around $40-50 because of how long it takes, if anybody is interested.
