Kiriban Prize for Apkinesis

FULL VIEW PLEASE!

A fanart drawing of (from left to right) Minori Kushieda [Toradora!?], Kana Minami (Minami-ke), Karin Maaka (Karin [or Chibi Vampire in english] ), and Yuno (Hidamari Sketch).

Requested by Kiriban winner: =Apkinesis

(Was only supposed to be one of the four I should draw...but he said to surprised him. ...well...
SURPRISE! )

I've done more than what I should've for a request, but since its a kiriban request, I wanted to make it extra special. (All the more reason for you guys to catch the next one next time~ )

Anyways, I'm pretty confident of the work done~
Done on 600 dpi originally; meaning what was supposed to be 1100 x 850 pixels wide I did this by 6600 x 5100 pixels. Unfortunately my memory crapped out on me and was forced to put this at 300 dpi. (Would've made a kick ass 66" x 51" wallpaper xD )

Speaking of which, I'll be giving a special link to the full sized version of the drawing, just cuz he's that awesome~

A few errors noted on the drawing I see incorrect, like the light reflection on the gold colored mantles (originally made to be plant holders and add flowers to them, but finalized it before I stopped myself), and a few white spots, but other than that, a smashing success for a 2-3 day artwork.

Tools
SAI Paint Program <-- (Trial expired on me on day 1, so I had to buy a new one and start over )
Photoshop CS3

P.S. I've borrowed the 'rainbow dots' technique from If you're interested in doing tone like dot backgrounds, he has a tutorial for it, along with how to color your characters [which I didn't follow ].
