this is my entry for 'imaginefx' manga comp, this is my first time iv entered a digital art contest,

this started out as a doodle in my sketchbook, and continued into a doodle on the computer. Originally the left leg wasn't leaning on the barrel and he didnt have that grin! haha i don't know why i added the turtle shell on his back haha i think as i was painting it i kinda thought he looks like a turtle! haha

did this using painter ix, with a volito2. was a lot of fun coming together and learned alot about painter ix. Tried to use this as a chance to experiment and use as many of the materials in painter ix

all comments/crit welcome

hope you like
