Happy birthday, Frodo.. I MEAN SEMI

Not as good as I hoped it'd be.. For some reason I totally forgot what brushes I used for my last piece.. lD

For SoSemi
First I thought I'd give you this cool ring I found the other day (in a completely righteous way I swear), but it's too precious to me, so I hope this is enough.

I've been doing some 'experimental art' lately, that is, using methods I don't normally use, so if it looks different from my usual submissions that is why. For the first time since I got SAI, I didn't use the linework layer.. Lines were (except some saller fix-ups) done completely traditionally, inked with a marker, scanned, and then colored digitally. And I didn't use the bucket tool at all, which is also something unusual for me (but in the outcome it's not very apparent. I'm quite happy with the higlights, but the shading seems a bit off on some places.. Ah well..
I really love how those wings turned out though. Better than expected~

Note to self: use thinner pen for traditonal inking

EDIT: SHIT I just noticed the highlights go out of the lineart in some spots.. I'll have to fix it lD
EDIT2: Fixed the moon marking and changed the shading a bit
