This one took me multiple tries.. but I think my initial issue was trying to follow reference material too much combined with the beginning of a migraine that got real bad. I only got 3 hours of sleep and some ibuprofen was the only thing that made this head splitting migraine go away... So! While I waited for that, I decided to bang this out. I really wanted to continue on this interesting trend of exaggerated realism and I have to say.. I really like how it's turning out each time.

This one was for  Smooshkin of his Nyxie, Val.
Been wanting to make him a gift for awhile now, but I just couldn't get out any art I saw in my mind.. Taking full advantage of that now. :)
