This little chibi boy was one of the paintings I made last week;

(The background consists of 11 layers of different colors to get this effect...)


And here he is finished!

It was a fun experiment, using my chibi style which can be seen in my webcomics such as ConCom for painting was fun... though I probably won't do it again, the style's simplicity works best for comics, while my expressive sad boys work best as paintings or drawings.
Wishing you all a great relaxing weekend!
EDIT: Since people have commented about not knowing what "chibi" is, here's a snippet from Wikipedia;
"Chibi is a japanese slang word meaning "short person" or "small child". It is a specific style of caricature where characters are drawn in an exaggerated way, typically small and chubby, with stubby limbs and oversized heads."
Again, if you're fond of this style and want more, read my webcomics such as ConCom or Nerd Culture.






What a fun piece! Yes, the metallic paint is so hard to photograph, but it shows a bit in here. Have a good weekend!
