It's actually a traditional ink drawing that was colored in photoshop.

Just amazing lineart! And the coloring is near perfection! What is the exact name of the computer program you used to make this? I know you said advanced illustration I, but is that the full name?

Oh, no, Advanced Illustration I is the class this was an assignment for. I did the lineart traditionally and scanned it in, then colored it using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
Thanks! ^^

zomgosh really?! How did you get that amazing painting-like texture?

Yup! I applied textures with layer effects (such as overlay). There's a basic but straightforward tutorial on applying textures here: [link]
You can get texture images by scanning your own in or visiting sites like [link] (though it seems to be down at the moment) or [link]
Don't rely completely on textures, though. They can spice up a piece but you still need an underlying painting (which I do digitally in Photoshop as well, using some of the standard brushes and my Wacom tablet). However, between the the two you can achieve some really neat effects.
Hope that helps!
