Something inspired by an old Internet friend of mine, whom I am very fond of and used to spend a lot of time with, but haven't been in touch with in years. I really want to contact him but, sadly, the more time goes by, the harder it gets. That's the way these things go, I guess.

So here's some art I did to go with my nostalgia. The lineart isn't pretty and the character isn't very original, but it's something a little personal, and I'm proud of it. I love fun light sources, even if I've got a lot of learning to do. Hey, you don't get anywhere if you don't make mistakes to correct, right? Or maybe that's just my excuse... xD

This was mouse-colored in Photoshop CS, about 6 hours not including the lineart. I want a tablet. D:



[bitch] I hate that every computer in my house has different brightness and color saturation settings. This looks perfect on my laptop but the contrast is too high on my Dad's PC... I have no idea if it looks like suck on any of YOUR computers, too. I'm worried that it might be too dark on non-LCD screens, but I have no way of knowing. GRRAARRGH, HULK SMASH. [/bitch]

EDIT: Lightened it.
