woah nelly. is it over yet? *dies* This is a request from a good friend on gaiaonline.com...She has this totally cool grim reaper girl type avatar and I wanted to give this picture a very dark atmosphere. I tried a whole bunch of different styles and techniques for the coloring process...please tell me what you think, this digital painting stuff is a never ending learning experience!!

here is the avatar i used for reference---> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/812/shigofumi.jpg/
