Wrath of King Piranha Plant

I FINALLY GOT IT DONE!!!! Half of this has been done for over a year and has just been lying around screaming "FINISH MEEEEE!"
I finally got around to again this week and I've been working on it for the last couple of days
I learned two things doing this pic: The atmosphere effect, to make the background look far away, and controled lighting.. which was really hard to keep track of. Crazyness is what it was, dealing with watercolor pencils
I think I'm finally getting the hang of them though.
To get the bluryish background thing going, which looks a lot better on the original than on here, I colored in the rock texture and with watered down acrylic ink I washed the whole background over. Doing that blured the sharp lines together and gave it a greyish fogged out look, sort of
The only Photoshop thing I've done to this was a brush streak of light green to make light look like it's filtering in from the ceiling. I didn't want to try it on the original 'cause I knew I'd probably screw it up.
Yoshi's Island fans will recognize this boss
This thing had the coolest intro of any of the other bosses, and when it would try to ram into you and hit the wall the vines would coil up and out of the water so snake like! It was so COOL! That game along with Donkey Kong Country 2 and Super Mario RPG are my all time favorite games on any system.
99.9% watercolor pencil babay!

Hi Pearlzu! I allowed myself to use your picture on YouTube with a Reorchestration of the Boss Theme from Yoshi's Island I made. If you're not agree with that, say it and I delete the video
