Gaia Avatar - Vedol

This was a commission from over on Gaia as part of a joint auction. The winner was Vedol and he had a number of avatars to work on, however he picked this one for me. The pose was a little challenging, but once I got the perspective the way that I liked it was smooth sailing. For the background I used a number of brushes, some I've downloaded and some I've made myself, but I still haven't been able to find source of one of them. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. D:
