Tropical: Collab with Artgerm

Wow, it took me long enough to finally finish this one!! Some of you might remember this from my crappy tutorial I made way back in 2006 here>>>
[link] (which, by the way, I never got to finish and which I totally didn't follow...I used a different approach in finishing this piece, sorry.)

Anyway, I remember back in 2006 when I asked if I could color this piece and was ecstatic when he gave me permission. I started on it and I never got around to finishsing it until this day. I'm so happy I'm finally getting my long-overdue pendings done! Plus!! It's practice for me too! I'm experimenting with skin tones and I'm liking the outcome very much.

Although I'm very pleased with how this came out, it looks a bit too saturated in some monitors. mine isn't callibrated anyway, sorry.

Hope `Artgerm likes it. Hope you do too.

Also, thanks for the 40++ K hits!
