    That BG color is amazing. A combination I would be afraid to try and it works wonderfully!

    This looks great! The pose and composition are really good, and I'm impressed with the use of color. Rough sketch is great too, perhaps even more dynamic than the final illustration.
    Excellent blog... Do you have more Rita comics? Thanks for leaving the comment on my blog today.
