Let's Get Out of Here

"Rai, let go of my legs~!
"No way! I'm not letting you pull me by my horns!"
"Don't worry chica, I got you."
"But... Where are we going?"

Taco, there's something about drawing your characters that just really makes me want to try my very best. Maybe its the way you draw them with so much love. Anyways, thank you for your art, it's so inspiring! I wish you the best in all your future endeavors now that you're out of AATR3. (Well, I guess you've been out for a while... >___>) (Gosh darn long-term projects).

THE PROCESS:
Lineart: 2 weeks X___X
Coloring: 3 days
BG + effect: 1 day

NOTES:
For the lineart I tried lining with the pencil brush set with Min Size= 50%, which means less line-width-variety and creates a more uniform look. The reason why it took 2 weeks is because I went WAY WAY WAAAAAAAY zoomed in to make it super clean. I also tried to push the saturation on the colors, since I tend towards desaturated light colors too much. The background might clash a bit with the characters's colors, because I colored the characters against a white background. The special effects were ill-planned; I wish there were more explosions, but those are harder to draw than Pocahontas wind, and I wanted to finish this before AATR3 Round 3 started.

Lineart version: sta.sh/01kegpo4ptaz
Colored characters: sta.sh/0vgq62wkau

If one of these other versions is better, please let me know!
