Good Lawd this one took me forever and I'm still not fully satisfied with it because Photoshop was being a little whore and not wanting to work with me for the latter half of it for the final editing and whatnot. Methinks PS needs an attitude adjustment and STAT!

And I've got a whole messload on the way after this. I've got about 6-7 more pieces in the works between birthdays and one Christmas card left and 2 remaining SW and SS things. This is not even including my remaining to-do list.

Anyways.

Excellent colour. His pose, and the background, really help this pic come alive.

Haha, I kind of squealed when I saw the thumbnail in the note you sent me. xD I love it! Ikurei looks amazing, I love the details in his scales and his hair looks so pretty *3* The anatomy is great too, he doesn't look all scrawny like when I (fail at) drawing him! This is awesome, thank you so much for this!!

YES! I made you squeal. That means my work was successful LOLOLOLOL!

I'm very glad you like him though. I was afraid I didn't do him enough justice. And right after I posted him I noticed some inconsistencies but they were stupidminorwtf so I let it slide. I personally like how his scales came out. And you don't fail at drawing him hun! He's your baby and the references you provided were great! I especially like the poster-like one of him with the little girl. He looks rather manly and your line detail on it is amazing! ^.^

And you are MOST welcome for it hun!

Haha, don't worry about any inconsistencies, I didn't notice them, and Ikurei tends to change design a little every time I draw him so it doesn't matter!

Thank you again! X3
