A preview of a birthday present I'm working on for a friend whose birthday recently passed--and by reading this he'll immediately know it's for him.
I'm not done yet but I have almost all of the basic sketch work done. Effects and line art are the parts that take the most time so I'll try and finish asap.
I'll be working on this everyday until it's finished.
