God, am I proud of this. I fixed up a few of the things that were bothering me in the sketch, cropped the bottom (eek! my signature is gone, I just realized that o.o;, and played around with the lapel collar and the sleeves, both of which were driving me insane.
I am really, really proud, especially since this is my first time actually fully colouring anything in Photoshop. The background actually isn't lazy/white for once, and...wow. I am proud of this. <3 I prolly sound like an ass with all this rambling, but it's been a while since I've done something worthwhile.
I made lots of use of the dodge/burn tools as well as the smudge tool. The only thing I don't like is how the glasses chain looks flat and not-metally, but this has taken me such a long time to complete that I honestly do not care.
Looks FANTASTIC! x3 I do love the original sketch, but this is all the more wonderous! The colors are freakin' perfect. Seriously, it looks really good!
Thank you for pushing me to get on, otherwise I would have forgotten. I am terrified of my inbox which keeps me away from this place. And I must reapeat that I'm glad that I did otherwise I would not have gotten to see this lovely droolworthy masterpiece by E. Leary. x3 (It's 4 AM, I'm not making any sense! xD)
Yay, thank you very very much! <3 And thanks so much for the favorite. It made me happy.
You're welcome. XD The dA inbox always terrifies me when I get back from a vaction. Also: it is 9:16 AM and I am probably not making sense either, so I think we're even.
Would you like me to make a print of it for you with my wonderful photo paper? <3
