Tiki: Sentinel Color

"By the shores of a quite lagoon - little King Wana Pay-Day stands near a one of the ancient village guardians. His eyes fall on a sail he's never seen near the reef's breakwater."

I did the drawing last week, but I imported the pencil drawing into Painter 11 to muss and tuss with some digital painting practice. The piece could be pushed and pushed, but I hit a stopping point after 9 hours. This is mostly direct painting on one layer with a single brush setting, but adjusting size for broad and fine strokes.

It has a good feel to it, but it's still got a cartoon vibe.
