*flops over*

How do some of you color this way? My goodness! So I decided to try the "color over the sketch" method and this is how it turned out. I got lazy on the background (mainly because I need serious landscape practice sessions), but Kaidou (the character) came out pretty damn good in my opinion. This is for a spread in my book thingy for my class' final assignment.

This is the "putting the character in his/her environment" page. <3;; So Kaidou is sitting on these really tall poles (I was going to have him sitting on a pagoda shishi dog statue thing, but I couldn't get the actual building to come out right, so I put him on poles) that are way too high for someone to be sitting comfortably/safely on them. =D;;; The wind must be wonderful at that elevation, though.

Enjoy~~~!

Edit - I changed the file. D: The DA watermark was bothering me a bit too much so I added my own.

if you'd be my star, i'll be your sky...
you can hide underneath me and come out at nite,
when i turn jet black, and you show off your light.
i live to let you shine.
i live to let you shine.

Wooooow, so pretty.
I really can't see a difference in quality from the way you normally color-
I guess it's your super-artistry as always.

Uwaaah, when you look at it you /feel/ high up...@_@

Thinking of you, wherever you are, we pray for our sorrows to end and our hearts to blend.Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows?Starting a journey may not be so hard,or maybe it has already begun...

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.

Next time out to sea
Bring enough soil to bury me
For I don't want my final jig
In the belly of a squid
Next time out to sea
Bring enough soil to bury me
For in my dreams she comes to me
Whispering of peace...
