Discoveries - colored

I didn't know what category to put this in, but this is a colored lineart for a contest.

The original lineart was drawn by . It is also her character Ryu and her contest! ^-^

I've never colored someone a lineart drawn by someone else so this was kinda fun. I don't really expect to win any place in the contest but I haven't been feeling well and needed something easy to do.

I did end up getting tired of the drawing halfway through, but I have multiple excuses. I really only wanted to color the character in the first place, and Photoshop ended up crashing on me TWICE while doing the wings. Luckily I save fairly often, but that really irritated me. It's never crashed on me for no reason before...so I threw the water and branches together and then put a stock background in sorry about that.

I ended up screen-shotting the wings on the second crash and then taking out the rest of the drawing and resizing them....so they turned out not so great also but I wasn't going to draw them a third time from scratch.

The background I used was from the wonderful and can be found here [link]
I know it doesn't really fit....but I was pretty irritated at Photoshop by then and don't feel like going back to it.

Colored in photoshop with stock background including drawing the wings 2 1/2 times probably 6 hours

Shouldn't all anime guys have a body like that?
