This pic was done for my bro Susi, of his two lion characters Fanir and Getti. The two brothers love each other very much, but, as brothers do, they can't resist pranking each other every so often. So Fanir, quietly sitting, minding his own business watching tv, suddenly finds himself under a downpour of ice-water. Poor Fanir! (Although he'll probably get revenge later on, so I wouldn't worry too much for him. :P )

This was actually started before 'Fweeee', the other computer-coloured pic in my gallery, and I used it as a test-bed to try out several new techniques that I used there, as I've not really done much with computer-colouring before. Notably, using a cheap light-filter in place of a background is probably quite likely to be a major feature in pics; it beats having everything and everyone floating in the White Void of Doom, where most of my other characters seem to live, though. :P Other stuff I had to learn how to do was the highlighting and shading on the lions themselves, and the water, which took me several attempts to get it to look right. Still, I think it's turned out quite well, and I learnt a lot from doing it, even if it is five months overdue. :P (That's ahead of average, for me. Most things take much longer. :P )
