so with work so crazy lately, ive been pretty distracted. And finding time to invest in anything artistically satisfying has been taxing, but i managed to put a few hours into this one. So here it is, the first real piece i believe to have any significance, when it comes to me and learning about illustration. Have a go, and tell me what you think
the rough drawing

the clean

and the painted version

UPDATE*
a better colored version.... apparently the color settings on my monitor make everything look brighter... that last version you could barley see anything.

and just for fun....
