I've been pursuing different painting techniques a lot recently, but it just doesn't gel with my style the same way that gradients and two/three-tone-shading does. So, something old, my old painting technique is BACK! Something new? Hopefully my studies are slowly paying off - not much likeness, but the pose and anatomy is a little better. Still needs work though >.<
