Finally, here it is - one of the two artworks I kept saying I'd finish soon! This actually arose out of an art prompt given to me by a friend. I unfortunately can't say what it was here, because it would end up revealing some personal information, but I loved taking on the challenge and trying something different from my usual.

It's been a while since I've tried to make something with extra effort put into the lines and shading like this. I was originally hoping to make it lineless, but as I worked, it morphed into something more experimental, with a combination of visibly lined and faux-lineless style, where the lines were the same color as the colors layer itself. Is it visually coherent? I'm not sure. But it was very interesting to explore - and probably the most fun I've ever had with a gray-based color palette. I even learned how to draw a decent horse and a realistic lightning bolt for this! So even though this piece gave me quite a bit of trouble and didn't turn out 100% how I'd like, I can definitely say it was worth it and I'm proud.

Also, let me know if any of you want to see the background by itself. I'm really happy about it.
