Holy snap. That took a while.

(And I'm actually still not sure if it's done. But I wanted to upload it. I might make minor changes in the future but it won't look much different.)

Right! So. Digital painting. Used my normal toolset, which is lots of colors and the eyedropper thingummy to keep track of 'em, excessive dodge/burn, a dozen layers, utilization of the smudge tool, and others.

First attempt at turning a hand-drawn sketch into a digital painting. Oh, don't look at me like that; the reason all my art doesn't look this good is mostly laziness.

However...except for the sketch I used as a guidelines, I did do this entirely on the computer, not even relying on pre-inked lines. Meaning that I did everything freehand with a mouse. Well, you try using only a mouse for seven years to create art; you get pretty good after a while.

Constructive criticism is highly welcome, even if I'm too cheap to afford the critique feature.

EDIT: Just fixed up some stuff, including darkening up the background and fixing his face. ^_^

EDIT 2 (5/22): Did lots of stuff with the rocks, background, and hair; hopefully it looks nicer?
