Haha, I totally understand. You should see the folderful of tries I did. Almost went mad when I made a big mistake and had to start all over again. I hope the efforts were worth it. Check out my picture, if you got time !
Just took a gander at it and it's really nice! I wouldn't have thought about using the character viewer like that. XP The colours are also nicely picked and I like your use of brushes. :3
I think Digital Painting is a bit " easier " than traditional one. But can make great results nonetheless ! Always have a Graphics pad at hand reach. There's a missing curve on your drawing ? A coffee stain after all the hours of night work ? Bam ! Photoshop does it all.
XD indeed. I almost always bring my work into photoshop before I put it up. If for nothing else than to try and re-infuse it with the colour my scanner sucked out of it. lol
