My best picture by far, with the most effort of any of my pictures. @v@

I put 's fur and feathers tutorial to good use (putting a spin on it to make it a style I could agree with).
Because drawing Finch in this style makes it easy to put both to good use!
And in case anyone might be wondering why I haven't been using Finch's official style recently: Finch's official (more cartooney) style combined with this coloring method = no. It just doesn't seem right. :\
her more realistic style mixes with this coloring technique perfectly.
Don't worry, I haven't abandoned her cartoon style, it's still my number one choice. :>

The background didn't quite turn out the way I'd hoped, mainly because the picture turned out so big.
(the reason I made it so huge is because I plan to sell it as a print once I get some sort of money-management source set up).

THAT IS ALL! :V

EDIT: I changed the background to something better, it looks a lot better in my eyes now. :}
