Description EDIT: I changed it to the alternate version because I felt it fit the picture better. Old one's in my scraps, so if you want to see that, go check it out

This was supposed to be my Halloween picture, but I didnt finish in time It's also supposed to be an art trade using the prompts "Squirrel and Archer" with ~Filidoria so theres that. (Hope you like it Fili!!!) But mostly it was an experiment with SAI. It's a pretty nice program, so I'll probably be using it a bit more often now

I'm trying to develop a new style of coloring, using watercolor techniques, but I'm not sure if it's working :/

Here's the step by step: [link]

Time taken: 10-15 hrs, over a course of 3-4 days
Materials: SAI + PS7, Wacom Bamboo

It's pretty worth it though if it turned out this amazing!
It reminds me of a character from a book that I can't put my finger on... I'm going to take a guess at... Redwall?

I've never tried the books, though I debated on reading them. And then I could never remember the author's name or the title. So it was a little difficult to find it at the library. Of course, I was little, so my memory sucked.

XD thats alright, I'm notorious for forgetting things. The only thing i remember about the books are that they have the firebird logo on the spine, and i love that company
