Whelp. There's a lot to tell about this. So here it goes:
Firstly I sketched this like a year ago around February and I never actually finished it until now. Secondly, I tried to get a halftone effect because I like limiting the colors to only about 5-7. So sorry if the shading looks horrible.

Hey flower, take cover!! Don't sweat the shading, it doesn't affect the overall quality!

I love it! My favorite details being the hooked-metallic tentacles and the toothy grin of the monster. The style on everything looks fantastic.
I have to ask, because I have NO idea how you do it, but how did you manage to get the comic-booky "dot-matrix" kind of shading? Is that a pattern that you overlay on the whole thing and erase where you don't need it, or is it much simpler/more complicated than that? I would cherish a response on the matter.
That's all I have to say about it, lol. I can empathize with the feeling of starting an art piece months ago and sludging along until its completion...I've been there too many times. But hey, it got finished, and it looks great! Don't beat yourself up about it, Mr. Front Page feature! Keep up the great work! :D
Thanks, man! It was done in Adobe Flash. I just set the color of the brush to a dotted pattern and then lock the pattern, and then just brush like I normally would. The only hard part was getting it to look right as flash would create a weird messed up pattern if i would zoom out to get a better look at the drawing so every time I had to do that I would just save it as an image. So.. yeah.

awesome was the first words to come out of my mouth when i seen this... the shading is a tad odd but it works in this art form for it gives a feel of the dread but in a comical way ..... very awesome work and should keep it up... PS i think you should have posted this for pico day for he reminds me like pico... should have worked in my point of view
Thanks! It was pure accidental, but yeah he does look like Pico.
