Original: Nino

This is my second try at submitting this, since the first time elicited a strange bug. If I committed a terrible sin by doing this, please feel free to let me know. :sweat:

Hmmm... after hours of sleep-deprivation, I bring you... this thing. -_-

Nino is one of my imaginary friends. I'm not really quite sure why I drew him, actually; I was just doodling around and then he came out. Funny how those things can happen. :nya:

The linework was done in OpenCanvas 4--it was my first time using it, so I'm pretty excited... the linework is so much smoother than it is Photoshop.

The coloring was done in Photoshop CS2, using the pen tool and gradients and feathered selections and the like.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but I still can't quite shake the feeling that there's something terribly wrong... his head is too big... maybe. :sweat:

Layers: Um... around 40? I don't know exactly, since I merged them a lot.
Time Spent: Around 4~5 hours.

Full view and comment (pretty, pretty please?) :)

Edit: Holy crap, the elite gallery? o_0 Really? *checks again*
Thank you so much... x_x
