I guess by "end of this week" I actually meant "tomorrow"
It is probably not the best idea to declare a painting finished at 4am but I DON'T CARE, NO MORE OF THIS.
Click for big, or see the same thing on deviantArt.
(Why floating in the clouds? It made no sense. Neither did the fact that they cast shadows. N64!!!)

...is what I would say, but this has actually been a tremendously valuable learning experience.
Lesson 1: Plan composition and lighting BEFORE (or at least concurrently with) lineart or face the risk of BORING.
Lesson 1b: Rule of thirds! Easy and delicious!
Lesson 2: Don't count on painting to cover up f-ed up lineart, it will not work and you will regret it! D:
Lesson 2b: Get models D:
Lesson 3: Colors need to be unified in a picture, even with crazy bright & saturated fantasy designs!
Lesson 3b: Photoshop is the best lifesaver EVER. I fear for myself if I ever go back to a brush & canvas.
Lesson 4: Shadows on left side, light on right side ;)
Lesson 4b: However, objects in the composition should read left-to-right!
Lesson 5: Define the faces and hands well first, and everything else will come together easy-peasy.
Lesson 5b: Except fabric folds. >:[
Lesson 6: Strong, realistic lighting makes or breaks a picture. Lern 2 impresionsm.
Lesson 6b: Big/rough brushstrokes areokay valuable. Lern 2 impresionsm x2.
A-And I was going to ramble more here but I'M GOING TO GO DIE NOW KTHX BAI.
