Lion and Butterfly

Delayed submitting this due to well copyright ownership complications. I think I'm good though. This was a picture I colored on Oekaki Central's Coloring Book thingy, so the lineart is NOT mine. I tried looking for it but that's practically impossible and I couldn't find it anyway, since it's OLD. Then I realized that the artist had SIGNED the picture so I didn't HAVE to go looking for it.. sheesh. *-.-*; Anyways, as you can see, the lineart was drawn by Teh-Ryu. Whoever that is. *^.^*;; *squints* or is it Teh-Pyu...? *o.O*;; Um.. anyways..

I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm damn proud of the way the lion came out. The only problem is, after all that (which took FOREVER), I was exhausted, but then I still had to make a background or it would get DELETED. So I whipped that up. I wish the grass came out better, but, well, apparently it was good enough. Also, the crappy little butterfly was completely my own doing, lineart and all. So whee.

I've never tried that shading technique since.. eheheh..
