Description I don't have much to say for this one, other than that's a Stetson hat lying on the grass. And that the bottom right cloud was a pain to draw. T^T

Pose referenced from the Radio Times magazine.
Program: GIMP

Dino Cavallone (c) Amano Akira.

Just one word.. I LOVE IT !!!! XDD
This is the most perfect piece of yours so far I can see!

The pose is perfect I love it! And Dino looks so natural >///<
Your lineart has really improved much better and what I love the most is.. EVERYTHING !!!
Really love the way you color this a lot.. some kind of soft, fits with nature background and all the grass look really great! I don't know how you did it but it's very complex and so real !! (the sparkle effects in there was also a really good choice too!)

I really really love this one!! hehe *sorry, but I can't stop saying that XD*
You've done a really great job dear!

Aww, thank you!! Although that's actually three words. D: And I'm glad you think so!!

Hehe Why thank you. Thought it'd be interesting to give him a look that sort of links back to his nickname. xD I nearly forgot his tattoos though! OTL

To tell you the truth, I don't like the way I did the lineart. It's just a bit too rough for my liking, but I haven't figured out how to do it smoother.
Mmmh, I combined two of my colouring techniques to keep it soft; think it worked rather well. o/ And the grass isn't that complex at all! All I did was one line of grass, duplicate that line (whilst flipping it every so often) to make a wee hill, and duplicate the layer twice. After that, I Gaussian blurred each layer (between 1-3px) and put the top two layers on multiply. Did the same to the grass in front of Dino. Afterwards, it was a case of lightening random bits on a new layer with two shades of pink (layer mode was lighten only).

Ah, there's no need to apologise! And thank you so much, dear!

You're very welcome dear!
Haha that's true! I didn't thought about that, I probably should say it one sentence LOL XD

Don't worry! The lineart looks perfectly drawn It looks smooth and fine to me anyway Oh, so that's how it's done! hahaha I didn't thought about that but it's easier this way I suppose XD (I wouldn't draw all of them with my own hand either, duplicate is a great tool for it!)

Aww not a problem dear! And I really love it!

Aye, that would be wise. xD

That would be because I Gaussian blurred the lineart so it was smoother. OTL Without that effect, the lineart is rather rough. D:
Yup! I'm such a cheat whenever it comes to the background hahaha One day, I'd like to do a really intricate background.

I'm so happy to hear that!

Thank you very much! And I'm glad that you think so; I was really in the mood for a soft look when I did this, so I'm glad it paid off.
