Description
Emily's birthday present!I'm really proud of this one.
Meaning I kinda don't wanna give it awayyyy
AND LET ME SAY.
ACRYLIC INKS CONTINUE TO BE THE BEST EVER. AMEN.
I sorta ruined this at first by pouring sepia all over this after laying down the brighter colors, but once I realized that it just created a neutral ground for me to push my blacks and highlights, this got waaaaay more fun. :3
Also his name is Merle because he looks like a Merle.

Amazing. 'Love the detail on the face and scarf. Patterns on creased fabric always bother me when drawing, but look really cool when done right. You did a great job =O

Thank you! I'm glad you think those came out ok... I always just sort of let my hand wobble when drawing on fabric and it either works or it doesn't. :'D

Thanks man, and of course it's not sad!
I didn't think of Harry Potter once while making this, but it's got the same colors, the humanistic look, and even a scarf, so... lol, can't blame you for seeing that. XD
