Sure!! Omg I am so glad you like it XDDD CHUBBY DONKEYS ARE LOVE. HECK YEAH! (I even had a dream with Bill in it last night, and it included my unicorn girlie, Moon.. XD)
I was actually afraid that I might have made Bill a bit TOO chubby for how big he is supposed to be. 0_0
If you really want, you can do that. ^^ I had planned to mail out this one to you along with the sketch. If you want to send more along, you can if you so desire, and it would be heavily appreciated. *LOVES YOU* c:

Thank you~!
*nodnod* You could be right. I was arguing back and forth with myself as to whether or not I wanted the transition to be smoother, or more sudden. 'Sudden' won, and I think I'm glad about that, but.. I'll try some smoother transitions with another / other pictures, to see how it looks. (if I can.. I'm out of a lot of colors. ^^;)
Thanks for the comment, Arquin. :3

UH SAME TO YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU DO.
GOD DAMN IT OPEN UP FOR (NOT STUPIDLY UNDER-PRICED) COMMISSIONS ALREADY SO I CAN PIMP YOU OUT. ;-;
OH AND HELL YEAH. DO IT. JUST MAKE SURE YOU SPEND ALL OF YOUR MONEY ON MARKERS FIRST ;D
Joking aside though, markers are freaking EXPENSIVE what the hell. o__o

there is no way this is markers. I do markers and you have pushed them past the realm of teh capable into madness.. Its so stinkin painterly and beautiful. I have no idea how you accomplished this, but I am going to have to try more now. To try harder. I want to be able to do shading like this, and color so vibrant. Wow. Stinkin wow.
*lots of blushing* Wow, thank you so much! You completely and utterly flatter me..
These are, indeed, markers. Although, to be fair, I did use a very small amount of colored pencil to make the marker highlights 'pop out' a bit more. Otherwise, yes, this illustration is 99% marker work.
Don't be afraid to experiment with markers, if you can! It is very possible to layer light marker over dark to create highlights, which is what I did for this piece. If you are familiar with using paint as a medium, then don't be afraid to try 'painterly' techniques, such as the aforementioned layer of light marker over dark.
In addition, this piece KILLED a number of my markers in the process of its creation.. I feel like a lot of the little details I first added do not show up, because of the layering technique I used... So I might not suggest doing it excessively. I might suggest working darker-to-lighter, however. Give it a shot and get back to me? ^_^ Because I haven't tried an illustration using that technique yet (at least, not for the entire picture..), but from my experiences, it should work quite nicely, give the painterly effect, and keep the usage of the marker ink to a minimum..
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, crashheart!

Love the transitional nature of what you've done here. The change of lighting rally does capture the change of temperature and thus mood. It's like he's just on the threshold of walking indoors on a chilly night, whilst also looking like that's maybe not the case and that this is something more thought-provoking going on. Really good use of your media.
