My original idea for the background was to have the tree a pink/purple fading into a white-ish background, and after mucking around with that for a day or so I realised that it well... sucked.

So I came up with this quickly. I seem stuck on the vignette effect for now. This is the 3rd pic in a row with this sort of thing... ahh well, better than being stuck on colouring stuff 'blue' as I did for about 5 months last year...

Pencils = David Finch
Inks = llamas
