Chi-Min and June, uh, standing around pretentiously! :D Hm, Chi-Min looks a bit taller than he should be. Oh well.

This one looks a bit different from my usual stuff; you can blame the new coloring technique for that. Instead of jumping from drawing to colors, I put the values first (shading), then tossed the colors over it. Apparently, it's a modus operandi often employed in traditional oil painting. And I can kinda see that in this picture: it's got this oil-painty feel to it, even though I worked digitally.

In retrospect, the whole procedure was a great learning experience. I'll definitely use the shading-first method again. And I'll try not to screw up the perspective next time!
