Got paopu?

I’m sure you’ve all seen the picture I based this on. One day I came across it, and this just popped into my head. I haven’t seen it done anywhere, so here it is!

Now, Riku darling, THIS is how you get someone to take a paopu from you.

I tried to emulate the original painting’s color and style, without actually using the eyedropper, of course. And it was a great learning experience, since painting with very low opacity requires that you think about which colors you have to overlay to constitute a whole. And it’s a great example to learn that shading and lighting is not just about adding black or white to a color. _{Yeah, okay, I'll shut up now X3}

whining:
I think I got the hair wrong though. Riku’s hair is much more straight and hard…uh, well let’s just say he’d recently washed all that salt water off it…yeah.
Oh, and the right eyebrow is messed up <XD
