I'd been thinking of drawing something in my old, less brush-y, more cell-shaded style for a while, now.
That being said, when I started this, it was just another throwaway sketch for the blog. I was attempting to draw someone sucking in smoke from a cigarette and that went on to become a hand drawing study (many of my "sketch sessions" end up being hand studies). His left one gave me trouble... One thing led to another and I ended up with a fully colored image. I didn't "think" about using my old coloring style, it just... happened. Which was nice, and unexpected.
I took my time with it (something like 3 hours) but it turned out nice :)
The texture on the hat is from Mayang.
