Great work !

How long did that take?

xiexie~

uhm, about 6-7 hours split between 3 days.

Stellar work! The subject matter and medium are paired beautifully. :)

you are amazing THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I LOVE IN THIS. The way his legs are around this is hilarious and the white outline really makes it pop

the color scheme and the desert setting are excellent in this one- and I really dig the flowing movement of the car driving into the sunset...

I do wish you'd tell us more about this piece though- is there a back story to this and this character or did this just pop up in your mind as an image?

Anyway... again the colors are great, and looking at this work of yours makes me smile so much~ :3

forgot what initially inspired this image, but it was most likely a song?? I usually get my visuals from music.

as far as the title goes though, it's from this.

Omg..... this is too fucking cool

Oh gosh this is wonderful and beautiful! I adore anything western, this is just fantastic

I absolutely adore this style of artwork. How do you plan something like this? Do you just cut out parts using a sketch as a template?

Yes. I usually make a rudimentary thumbnail sketch to base the finished piece off of, but I rarely use it as a template unless I'm working on something that requires constrained proportions, like a badge commission—with badges I can't be so free w/the scale of the picture's elements b/c I make them 4 ☓ 3 inches.

I try to visualize what sort of shapes would work best for each object, and in what order I should glue them. for example, the car here is based off a parallelogram-like shape. The parts of the car are just layered on top of each other to make the lights, the bumper, etc. and I later cut slits in the body to "insert" the wheels into the car. From there, I usually add or subtract pieces as I see fit, move the object, etc... I try not to be too rigid with my process.

wow this is fabulous! I really really like your sense of shapes!
