i like it but 2 hours! holy hell man. we need to work on our time but practice makes perfect. nice job all around i love red so no way id say it doesn't look good

Well one of the biggest struggles I have with time is getting the lineart to look clean. Compare this pic to other colored works I've done and you'll see what I mean. This one still could use some cleanup to look it's sharpest, but since it's most likely to be made into an alternate avatar I decided to skip a lot of cleanup work. I thought that coloring and shading went a lot faster, though. I can spend up to four hours to get something looking just the way I want it :P

i know just what you mean buy my impatiens has prevented me from doing that as of the past year

As an fashionista, I approve... Red goes brilliantly with grey scales :P

I thought so too! Thanks for the fav, as well! My compliments to your gallery. Happy New Year and welcome to FA!
