Been working on the traditional version for a while now. Let's also post that one for fun! This is the traditional version XD
It was more a personal challenge. I have done a technique like this before, but not as elaborate. I do kind of like the outcome, so who knows. I guess it's also inspired by Keith Thompson's art, go google him!

Well, this is my first attemp of coloring with my graphic tablet D: I've got much to learn how to use it and so on. I did this with GIMP :x
I'm not sure if this is Vermillion in Human Form. I did hear 'his' music as I was drawing this, so may be yes: it is him.

_{Thank you for being a wonderful friend, and person in general ♥}
