Figured I might as well post my finished entry for the Newgrounds Calendar contest. Hate to double post things, but, I'd like this to be part of my own thread.
Anyway, from a technical aspect, I'm not sure that this is the best work I've ever done - I can already see a bunch of perspective and proportion problems - but, it is one of the few things I've drawn where the image that I saw in my head was translated almost perfectly onto paper, and so, I consider this a success in that regard.
Technical notes for people who are into that stuff: this was hand draw and inked using a Hunt 102 crow quill - then scanned and colored in GIMP using a mouse (I would have preferred to use a tablet, unfortunately my pen broke just as the contest was announced, and I just received the replacement in the mail today). I don't even remember how many layers I had to create for this one; way too many.
So yeah, this was 2 weeks of my life, basically working on it for a few hours every day. I would have liked to have done more with it, but, there just wasn't enough time.
