Red Rain Disapproves of Abstract Backgrounds

Just something I threw together for practice. Neither the linework nor the coloring are particularly great (especially since I didn't bother heavy-lining this, which is where I do a lot of my ink cleanup), and Red Rain here is a bit off-model, but eh. Practice makes perfect, and it's fun misusing CS4 to make tacky backgrounds. I really need to get back in digital-art shape, so why not just enjoy myself and mess around for a while as I re-learn everything I forgot since last spring?
For the reference, he's a species known as an "arcin," whose weird posture is best noticed at any angle other than directly head-on. I also actually drew out his legs and dewclaws beneath his robe, only to erase them when cleaning up the pencilling. C'est la vie. Those are feathers by his bottom; arcins have long, horselike tails with feather-fans growing just above them. He has other feathers on his outer thighs and biceps, but they're (obviously) covered by his clothing.
Red Rain looks feminine, but he's actually a heterosexual man, believe it or not. Guy's basically a male version of the traditional RPG Staff Chick. He's peril-bait, basically.
I still owe
taklayyankovic a spec sheet for arcins. I should, uh, do that eventually...

Although the skeleton thing's a pretty cool idea, and I may consider it!
Maybe that's why I thought of it, I don't know.
