#ShinXChange piece for Natoli (DA)

The forest was alive with the songs of birds and the babble of a near by stream. Iknu sat down and carefully inspected the precious stones before him. One gem caught his eye. He picked it up and turned it between his delicate fingers. "Perfect."


I've drawn and redrawn this piece so many times it's not even funny. And I've drawn so many forests, I'm starting to feel like I'm just repeating myself. D; I hope it isn't too similar to my last SXC, because that's how I felt with each and every sketch.

But I did try that limited palette thing. I can't believe I used only 3 different colors.

Thanks in advanced for all faves and comments.
