Flying High Through The Sky

Okayy so here goes my first picture after a long time. This one is like... 3 months old.
I'm kinda proud of it, even if I got a little lazy in the end when it came to the shading and highlights.
For the background it was laziness PLUS no background ideas I would be able to draw.
But I guess it still looks acceptable! XP
I hope you're happy to see something from Mariah Acorn again

__About the Picture:__

Sketch was done almost two weeks ago when my BF Shadowhog was here again. I felt like drawing something different for once and tried drawing a Sonic Riders action pose. Besides I wanted to draw a good picture of Mariah again. The sketch took me incredibly long, already one reason to finish it.
For coloring and shading I got pretty lazy and only did few parts per day. Actually I tried to get the shading at least a bit like Chibi-Metal's but I guess I failed.
After thinking like half an hour about what I could do with the background, I got several ideas. The best one was to draw her in the sky over a forest like in the one Sonic Riders level (who played the game might get what level I'm talking about). But I didn't know how I should be able to draw that so I just ended up with what you get to see here.
