kiriban kick - first rendition

well, how 'bout that? nearly two *bleep*in' years w/o posting squat! feels like it's been longer than that waaaay longer! anywho, here's a piece that I worked on for nearly a week while I was experiencing internet access difficulties (if it's not one thing, it's the other with this piece o' ) it began with one part, then it led to finishing the whole thing. maybe I should have connection problems more often, at least then I actually get some artwork done to pass the time, no? this here's an original piece by one of my favorite DA artist and friend, who drew me a great kiriban prize for his 30K pageview! I figured since it might be a while 'til he finishes coloring the whole thing, I felt like taking a shot at it myself to also refreshen my mouse art skills....what's left of 'em after such a long hiatus. I have this version ready for display while having another that's still a WIP at the moment. until then, enjoy this one!
