[[Edit: For some reason complimentary colors always have weird 'halo' around an image? Why is that? Please explain it to me.]]

***Plz Full-View kthnx***
Oh gosh. I think I've found a fun way to color....and the victim was dear ~Alphaistics' Cicero.

So. What I Did.
-Started off with a sketch:[link]
-Colored seperate parts loosely with standard paintbrush.
-Erased until happy with placement of stuff.
-Worked on tiny details and shadows.
-Softened shadows/ added trim/ tidied odds and ends up.
-Added a few birdies from: [link]

Labor-intensive (to me at least XD ) but worth it for the effect.

Cicero was fun. His 'hands' are hidden beneath the feather fluff and I totally apologize for any mistakes. I totally free-formed this. XD Um, yeah. He isn't wearing shoes. 'He likes his feet to be free.

So yeah. Here's Cer up in the air waving to some distant birdies. Telling them to come back soon and visit. ;)

If the fave button was always available, I would just keep on clicking it, forever and ever and ever and ever. :hug: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I absolutely love it. :D The colors in the sky are so pretty, and they contrast well with Cicero's blueness. It's also a great coloring style too! It's all lineart-less. ^^

...Now I feel guilty for not posting yours up yet! *is still coloring* X.X
