Digital Art / Drawings / Fantasy

This is actually one of the first times where I started with the background. Which according to every art book I have read is what I am supposed to do, but the characters are so much more fun for me. But I am happy with how it turned out. By starting with the BG first I force myself to get the biggest and in my case hardest part of the drawing out of the way, so I do not slack after spending hours coloring the characters. Good advice it turns out. I will be following it from now on (maybe).

EDIT (8/17/05): Coming along now. But still need to add details, finish up a few bits and try to meld all the elements together, before I can call it completely done.

Final edit (?): Followed the advice of

and

. Thanks guys ^_^. I wouldn't mind CC at this stage, but I think it can be called done now. Darkened the background and added more color variety. Completely removed the planet and added a mind-numbing aurora borealis, which in the end, I am glad I included it. The girl looked nervous without something to look at.
