This must be your best work so far! So incredibly realistic, texture and form and everything - you even get the eyes right! The backjground's a bit simple and fuzzy compared to the characters (interesting how the mountain almost looks like waving hands in some parts) but with the characters painted so thoroughly you don't spend most of the time looking there. :) Really impressive. Curious how you made this, if you had a reference image? It's not just a filter or trace is it? Really cool.
