Rakko in the Forest

This is a custom character that rakko-cookie came up with and make a request for me to draw. I'm very satisfied with how this came out. It was an experiment in some new Photoshop techniques for me. I've never placed a character within an environment before...within meaning there's a foreground in front of the character and a background behind them. It was really simple to do - I'll be creating a blog-posting with a short tutorial about how to do it.

So it was a ton of fun to color this. I used some custom brushes for the grass. The rest is just straight out of my head. Another female character done! I'm on a roll! ;).
