Portrait of Luffy

When I tried to resize the image, something weird happened to the hat... so I decided to leave it as this unusually large file... hee... <_<

Anyway, this is the hardest thing I have worked on since my Ameya/Angel pic in my gallery, and it took soooooo long to do (several weeks, working one or two hours at a time-- if not longer)... it's also the most realistic I have ever colored in a PSP program---

I am sure that this picture will go down in my artistic history as something I am embarassed of because of it's obvious flaws, but, as of now, it's the best I could do given my lack of talent (and the fact that anything to do with PSP to this point has been self taught). >_<

I did do my best, so I will be proud of it, dammit! TT_TT

I want to give due credit to iDNAR as well, since he/she is awesome... and they provided me with a tutorial and some reference... but I ended up not really using it anyway. ^_^;
