Comment:
I've waited and waited to finish this piece, and finally I can put the pen down and call it done. ♥
For those that follow my tumblr you'll remember both the sketch and the wips I posted last month before my life was totally overrun with work. With a day off to call my own, I decided to get this out before going to bed. I'd been restless and despite being tired, couldn't really get sleepy - so why not finish art? My beloved Ravi finally has a worthwhile portrait and my goal is to finish his six "brothers" as companion pieces.

Its been a long time since I've drawn him, let alone colored him digitally for that matter. The biggest challenge was the iridescence since he has a sheen similar to a sunbeam snake, it took some tinkering but I got it to a point I'm very satisfied with. This piece was exactly what I needed to start me out again~ ♥

For some reason, this reminded me of South Park.

Nice artwork though.

The amount of detail is amazing.  I just love how soft and playful the color pallet work well with the pose of the character.  Looking forward to seeing the brothers.

Thank you so much! I've only sketched out one other so far but I'm hoping to do more soon!

Gorgeous! I was initially attracted by the bright colors when I saw the thumbnail. I really enjoy your character design here, as well as the fluidity of the pose. I'd only mention I wish I could see more of his face in a quarter view instead of a profile. But such a small thing within an otherwise strong piece.
