Haha, huge Gurren Lagann reference here, if the Kamina snowman doesn't make it obvious enough already. Does anybody know what the purpose of the rock throwing was, because I still can't figure it out. I am now convinced that the recipe for awesome is blue hair, cool shades, rad blue tatoos, and having everyone call you 'aniki'. Wow, it's weird what Franky and Kamina have in common. And no, Franky would never wear pants even in the dead of winter.

So, I was really trying to move out of my comfort zone with this one by using a more painterly approach to CG coloring and distinguishing between my foreground and background elements. I think the picture itself looks fine but I didn't quite accomplish what I wanted with the technique because it's very difficult for me to imagine what kinds of colors and shades I should use and how to show texture on a fictional character. Please offer some critique if you can because I may experiment more with this style later on.

Oh yeah, and happy holidays everyone!! My winter break is going to last about a month and I've been getting a lot more ideas lately so prepare for more frequent updates.
