Happy Birthday @firlionemoontav!

Thank you for the lovely writing piece you did for my birthday. In return, here is an art piece of our favorite devil for you.

More about the piece under the cut for those interested.

This is the 3rd portraiture piece I've ever done and the second one I've done in the stippling style. I tend to shy away from doing people because I just do not have the practice or training to draw them.

I have drawn some cartoony or anime-style people before, but I have yet to work with much regarding the human form. Maybe sometime I'll transition from animals and scenery to people.

I'm not 100% happy with it, BUUUUT I think that's normal. lol We are our own worst critics and will always see all glaring mistakes. I didn't want to overwork this one and ended up stopping before I ended up working it too much.

Also, stippling is the artist's equivalent of masochism. lol I love the way the style looks, but omg the time they take. I always underestimate the time it takes to complete one of these.
