Amazing what happens when you drink a tiny bit of water from a seemingly average stream...

An art trade with  hagatoras. I've been feeling pretty down on my own artwork recently. I was starting to feel like less of an artist compared to my friends; moreover the fact that not many people even know me. But, a couple days ago, I realized something. The reason I was feeling so down is because I was imagining the gap between me and my friends' art as greater than it was. I am friends with a lot of talented artists, and some probably leagues better than me. But, they help inspire me. I see them try new things, get messy, and more importantly; make mistakes. My art doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be liked by everyone who looks at it. As long as I am happy with what I have done, then I should be happy with my art. ^^

And I'm pretty proud of this piece. Of course art trading with a friend like Hagatorus always makes things big. And I haven't drawn anything like this in a while. Yes, I am a huge hyper fan. If my content isn't clear enough, here is moreso. As much as I like drawing stuff more proportional, I can get out of hand every now and then. Bite me. XD

Anyway, I hope you fans out there enjoy this. I attempted bits of shading and a little landscaping work thrown in there too. But I do hope  hagatoras enjoys this.
