Description You really don't know how long I took doing this picture *__*
I thought that I'd probably spend at the most 2 hours, but it had extended to around 3 - 4 Dx

To be honest I am quite surprised. I didn't know that I would take so long o.O
I guess it was all down to experimentation: In this picture I used completely different colouring techniques to that I normally use. This is because I had a note saying that I needed to improve on my colouring skills, so I hopefully have ^_^
Is the skin tone that I've used okay or not? I've been experimenting with various skin tones, and also the colours of the clothes and shizzle.

I really enjoyed doing this picture, and I think it's the best one I've coloured so far Yes, I did not do the lineart. My friend, did. Please check out her profile, because her gallery is absoloutely stunning! This is a collab, so please, fave her version too! ^_^

Special Details:
Time Taken: 3 - 4 hours colour.
Programs Used: GIMP 2.0. I've realised that I don't have 2.6, and had been using 2.0 all the time. So on those other pictures that says I've used 2.6 it's wrong Dx
Tools Used: GIMP, tablet.
Layers: 16

Deviant-Castellan [2009-10-26 18:56:29 +0000 UTC]

Well here at first look the color/shade transitions are smoother than your previous work. I know very little about drawing and painting, but it looks like a number of layers were used to do the shades so yes it clearly took a lot of work for you to do.

I admit the eyes are just a bit of a problem... They may be done too well. The difference of primary colors between them is fine, but they are so clear, so perfectly done (and yes some of your finest eyes ever), that without a backstory explaining the character's history and giving us a mental anchor, the eyes seem to draw attention away... from each other. With a backstory and context though it would be flawless.

And though you didn't draw the lineart, yes the fingers are well-shaded. More fingers! Don't hide those hands!

I don't understand what you mean about the eyes, sorry >.<
