This took frigging forever. It started out as a random little doodle but then I just kept working on it. Man, I even begged a friend (Thanks, Gatell) to teach me some proper shading. (Still need to work on that)
Overall I am quite content with the outcome.
About 8 hours of work (1 hour shading lesson not included), countless of layers and lots of caffeine has been involved in making this.
Gatell> yes, indeed. I used the shaded picture you gave me as guideline to try my own way. (Couldn't get the gradient shading done so I did a mix of erase away and my own.)
