So I finally finished this although I was very very hesitant about uploading it . I don't know why but something feels off about it. Maybe I'm being over-critical of myself and the fact that I will sell this as a print at AWA 2012 (Anime Weekend Atlanta) this year is making me nervous... Don't know.
The water and getting the lighting down were the biggest challenges for me. Something I'm still learning and trying to improve upon.
This maybe one of those pieces I'll find myself redrawing in the future after all, there's always room for improvement. But for now...
