A better look at my icon

I'm in the middle of a move, so all my drawing supplies are packed away, even my tablet. So, as I lack a way to show something new to start with, I figured I'll show some alternates and a larger size for my icon.  know it's not the easiest thing to see right now.

Inked:

Colored Pencil:

Digital Ink :

Finished:

I had forgotten to blend an area in the digital colors, but... I messed up and didn't save it before flattening it.

Very neat! What programs do you usually use?

I use PhotoShop CS6. To get it onto the computer... At the time, it was my Nikon Coolpix S3300, but... that had an accident... with a dinosaur... Not very long story, but it is a bit silly.

I think what makes most of the details hard to see is the background. Perhaps something lighter?

I tried something like this with mine, and I think it looked pretty good.

Ooh, that is lovely. I can't go back and edit it, but I will keep that in mind. Thank you!

Scanned and vectorized from an archaeology book. I then added the Aztec glyph for "speak", and the earring, gold chain, the Star of David and the Cross using Corel. The particular shade of orange was taken from a picture of a real jaguar.

Averaged, of course.
