Tidus showing off his lovely grin~

I decided I wanted a new icon so I remade an old one!

Quite a bit of a difference from about a year ago, huh? Granted, the two are in completely different styles.. But I think this new style is looking much better than the old. Much more fitting for use as an icon. It's on the cartoony side though. I prefer to draw a bit more realistically, but it just doesn't translate well to icon size.
Also, I struggle with cel shading. I gotta practice more~ I can't quite settle on how to layer cel shading, and it was all over the place for this. Kinda figured it out in the end, but I spent too much time fiddling with the layers.
But anyways, I think it's lookin good c:

s'it.

Paint Tool Sai + Photoshop CS6
Full working size is as shown
