Fulfilling a request from my young friend Alex, I decided to take a step forward. This is my first digitally inked and colored piece, and after a lot of worry and work, I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Inked/Colored with Paint Tool SAI - First time using it, but thank god, I think I found my answer to digital inking. Really love this program.

Shaded/Glows/Background with Photoshop - The only shortcoming for SAI is that it lacks some of my favorite PS tools, so I doubled up and used both programs.

To avoid any further character infringement, I designed Alex his very own uniform, unique to him and him alone.

Alex, I hope you like it.

( And yes, I realize I put the ring on opposite paws in each view. Kinda had a ditz moment and didn't realize until I was almost finished that I'd drawn the back of his uniform backwards X3 )
