Wow....finished it in 1 day! compared to my last work, this one seemed to go by really fast. anyways, it's done. After talking to one of the best artists i know

, She gave me a tip on textures. so i decided to test it out on this one, and i can't really tell how it looks, i kind of like it, and kind of don't....so meh, let me know what you all think about it!
Also, when i finished coloring it, and shading it and such, i removed the lineart layer, so there absolutely NO lineart left, i just used it as boundaries for the coloring, which is another part of the new style i though i'd attempt.
As most people know, it's colored lineart.
The awesome lineart (c)

(thanks again for letting me color it!!! I had a good time coloring it, and i hope you like it!

I liked the texture you used.
In the future you could try using different textures or mixes of textures in certain areas instead of the same all over and see how that works out for you. =)
