man. i have been working on a project FOREVER... stippling (little dots to make shadows) is TORTUROUS. my hand sweats profuously now and aches SO MUCH because i've been holding a pen making a million little dots for the past 24 hours. but i'm really happy with the outcome so i guess that's all that matters. here's some pics of it.


u like? i hope you do....


another one of almost the same pic
