Consolation by @EukaryoticProkaryote (William Bulmer)

Awesome. I have shadows. And oh look! A background! Both in a single drawing. How did I pull that off? Picture of some creature (I don't know what) consoling a boy. The picture looks a little messed up because I had to scan in 2 slices of the picture, then splice them together. I'm still trying to get it to look more like night time, and shading in the night sky won't do because then it will be to dark overall. Artwork © Copyright 2003 William Bulmer
