Description
Alright, here we go, it's finally done. I've been working on this one for ages, so I hope it shows.So, what's to say here, I'm not that happy with the background, but since it's my first one, maybe I'll get better at this stuff sometime. The pose isn't anything spectacular either, but apart from that, a lot of work went into the character in order to get everything just right, and I think it worked out rather well.
Sketch and line art can be found here .
As always, critique is very welcome, so feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.

It looks fantastic, but the yoshi seems to be a little less realistic than the background itself. It looks good, it's just the lines contrast everything. If you would have blurred the lines a little bit.. and lightened them, it would look like it fits in the scene more. Regardless of that.. it's a fav.

Yeah, the lines ended up a little thicker than I originally wanted them to be, but I really didn't feel like doing them all over again when I noticed it.
Ah well, thanks (also for the fave), glad you like it

Oddly enough it reminds me of my version of Yoshi's beach.. which isn't done.. but the last part of it is in my scraps. I still need to finish it sometime (which seems like never at the moment)

Hmm, yeah, looks pretty nice already, you're almost done anyways, it's just the sky that's missing, as far as I can see. I wish you luck on your quest of finishing it

yea.. I've been doing different cloud effects to see what is the best.. I have an idea but I need it to be in the same style as the rest of it.

Ah, clouds, those are evil

(gonna describe this as best as I can)
yea.. I've decided to go with a flat bottom, into a 3/4 of a circle and from the middle of the top of that into a half circle and ends in a tail. Hope that explains it well enough.

Ah, I think I know what you mean. Yeah, that might work with your style.
