Valdez in Color

I may change the hair slightly, but this is the basic concept for the upcoming flash animation. I'm still going through different mouths, eyes, etc. to make animating easier in Flash. We'll see. I may post other "friends" as they come or as I find the time to color/trace them.

I thought it might be easier just to create characters in Illustrator/Photoshop from scratch, but I didn't know Illustrator that well in the past and have had to gain proficiency lately and really like tracing my own sketches. Maybe I'm just old school, and maybe me and Wacom don't get along, but I like drawing by hand.
