Description
AAAAAAH FIFTEEN MINUTES LEFT. HAPPY NEW YEAR~!!! 8DLion head inspired by a card found on google images. This pic went through at least two lineartings--once in OpenCanvas and the second in Painter X. My ugly lines in OC prompted me to finally download Painter actually, despite all the horror stories that kept me away for so long. XD Lo-and-behold, CLEAN LINEART. *_* Seriously, Painter's pen tool is like a GOD ITEM. And the rest of the brushes too! I want to try them allll....
But I probably shouldn't since I literally spent an entire weekend learning how to use Painter and getting this card done, lolol. OTL
Anyway, 新年快乐! (And to head off any questions, yes that's my fugly handwritten on the card. |D)
Pattern used on China's shirt from here .
__________
Media: sketches in OC4.5, lined/colored in Painter X, Wacom Intuos3.

If I colored stuff more, I might invest in different programs, but for now I'm hardly venturing past any media besides mechanical pencil. orz. (LOL okay then~)
