Self Portrait with Taniwha

Description

I have been meaning to make a new ID for myself, since a lot has changed since I was 15, when I last made an ID (namely, I grew facial hair). However, nearly all my attempts at doing so haven't resulted in anything I liked. Well, except this one.

The idea originated as part of a larger scene, with more characters, but I cut it down to just me and one of the monsters I invented, the Taniwha.

A lot of my other ideas attempted to represent some of the things I like, although I overdid them in many early drafts. In this, it's limited to three things-Celtic culture (the spiral shirt, the pendant, the hat, and the kilt-which are all things I own in real life), Pokemon (the Pokeballs on my belt), and Transformers (the Autobot symbol on the belt buckle, which I had to copy paste from the TF wiki because I fail at drawing the Autobot symbol).

I was thinking of shading it, adding a background, but I like it as it is. Maybe I'll refine it later.

That'll make those bunnyfuckers think twice.
