This image took me a lot longer than it should have! I did finally teach myself how to use the pen tool in photoshop, with which this was inked (and I will NEVER go back to my old method!).

It went through a digital painting phase, which I finished halfway and scrapped it, played around with other coloring methods some, and then settled with cel-shading and added highlights with a low-opacity/flow brush.

There's quite a few things I'm displeased with. Overall not my favorite work but I am finishing this up so I can move on.
