Trade I had going with  Ruaidri

He finished mine within days of setting up the trade, and it took me weeks to get around to doing this. xD; Sadly, life is only giving me so much free time, and I usually have a thousand things to do in it, so art gets pushed to the side. Ah well, its done now.

This was to be background practice, but while it looks fine, it was sort of fail. I don't think I learned anything and I don't think I improved any. Its just a generic background and heavily stylized. :/

On an up note, I tried out mixing my prisma markers with some crayola pencils I had forever. I like the effect, but it takes a rather long time to do. The marker makes a nice base while the pencils are great for the shading, but eh... I'll probably always prefer digital, even if my traditional comes out better.

Also! Water = fail. My brain fights with my mind, one saying water should be BLUE while the other thinks the water should be white-ish brown, because its a river and its foaming over rocks. D< Whatever. The rocks suck too.
