Trying to get back into digital painting in a big way. I've been lacking motivations and getting frustrated and then I remembered that
blackmage9 is holding an art competition tat ends this weekend. So I threw together some initial sketches and then spent most of yesterday evening making this:
I'll finish it up tonight. Need to add some more detail, remove some strange static, and make the stomach better. I'm so lucky to live with a girl with such an amazing tummy. I've been having trouble painting them for a long time and then last night I looked over at her and there was an epiphany. "You're shaded almost exactly the opposite of what I've been painting!" So yea. Other than that, any suggestions?

Total time so far: 4 hours
