In all honesty I worked way too hard on this.

It may not look like it but this is the result of hours of work: sketching and re-sketching, inking by touchpad, scouring DA for tutorials on how to make realistic sand and water, messing with all kinds of lighting tricks. My computer crashing every 20 minutes because of photoshop eating all my RAM because of the abundance of layers I had to use...

I'm still not completely happy with the result but I can't spend any more time on this or I'll never move on to other things I'm working on.

I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining but sometimes when I invest a lot of time and effort into a drawing and I know it's not going to get a huge response it can be disheartening. I do work hard on these things I submit, even if the are just silly fan art of obscure characters I still try very hard to make them good.

Still knowing there are people who do like my art and appreciate how hard I work on it makes me feel a whole lot better. So to those people I hope you enjoy this. :)
