Description
Contest prize for *Avestra for placing second on the Digital Category on my contest.

Of great importance it is to say that said contest ended 3 years ago, and that I was such an epic failure with doing the prizes within an acceptable amount of time that I'm never, ever, EVER going to offer requests as contest prizes again. Should I ever hold another contest, I will only offer subs. I don't want to embarrass myself like this again. Please shoot me if I try to do that again.

That being said, it was actually kind of a good thing, there's no way I could have pulled this character off 3 years ago.

I loved working with him, but unfortunately I've been finding it hard to concentrate on drawing for long periods of time, and since this guy required a lot of concentration, it was a very long and tedious journey to get him done.

There are some things I wish I had done differently, but I'm still quite pleased with the outcome.
The scanner decided to throw me an "ultimatum" though: either I could get it to pull off the pretty colors and have the image looking grainier than it is, or I could get rid of the excessive graininess and get a washed out look, I chose the former.

Anyway, I hope you like it Ieva! And that you consider this somehow worth the long wait D: Thank you for your incredible patience and understanding on those notes I sent you.
