Description
I DID NOT DRAW THE BACKGROUND, I repeat, I DID NOT DRAW THE BACKGROUND! It comes from a stock images account, here is the link to it: [link]And here is a link to the image I used: [link]
I merely added an accented edges effect with Photoshop and overlayed an orangish color. I was looking for clouds tutorial when I found that image...and I just thought it'd fit really well with the drawing!
So for the actual drawing itself, well, it's 's Aik, watching the storm coming...so it's the 'Calm before the Storm!'
This is basically my entry in her contest!

C,est vraiment très cool, et la photo en arrière a quasiment pus l'air d'une photo!

Good lordy, there's ten kinds of cool in that thing alone ^^
Very few people I've seen can fit live photos, even manipulated ones, and drawn images together like that. You've done a fantastic job with it, and I'll say you'll definitely make top three in the contest (if higher, thank me for the prediction, if lower then kick me for it 
Moody lighting, expectant pose, beautiful assembly as well for the 'reading'. Top marks all round.

Thanks! Though as I mentioned, the background isn't mine, but I just thought it fit perfectly so I snatched it, giving the owner full credit

I like the lighting effects on Aik- it fits well with the sunsetty-background.
Nice work
