The Curse of Maraqua

Poster style, just like the HATIC picture I drew a while back. Now that I have a bit of a better mastery of Adobe Illustrator, I kinda wanted to compare the differences in my abilities. x_x I think that my colouring or rather grasp of textures and shading has gotten a bit better. Coral = TEH EVIL to colour.

Plus my hand hurts from grasping my tablet so much ;; Unlike the original HATIC picture, I didnt bother scanning a rough and just tableted the entire thing. :/ .And oh, in case anyone's wondering why a) my actual sig is HUGE and b) there is a -do not steal- bar somewhere in the picture, well... its for obvious reasons. I do encounter art thieves and some of the actually have the audacity to ask me if they can use my picture for blarg (BC/AG, etc)

The entire picture took four hours. Four spanking hours of my life. *insert more whining here* Plus for some reason the "Q" in "Maraqua" looks like a "G" :/

Please full view to see the actual quality of the picture. The picture itself died when I tried to compress it u_u;; And I have no clue what these characters names are.. I think the usul is called Garin. The others I just used refs and looked at their facial expressions. D: *retarded*
