This is my rendition of a character description submitted to Portrait Adoption. It was pretty detailed, so my main concern was being faithful to it -although I got to choose the angle and such-
I've used GimpShop -The Gimp with a Photoshop-like interface-
As it is an adopted piece, critiques would only be considered as advice for future artwork
