Oh man... this... took a while XD

I had this weird urge to draw Alfred with a lollipop, and since I was listening to "Pursuit of Happiness" by Kid Cudi (feat. MGMT and Ratatat) at the time (for a couple of hours straight, man, I fail at the music choice, srsly...) I wanted to draw the sky, bright and shiny and so... "Alfredish" XDDDDD
Well, this was good training for me, since I never did any elaborate background in a cg picture before. I must say it was a lot of fun and I'm really happy how it turned out, it's not perfect, I could change a few things and all but... I need to stop being such a hopeless perfectionist so I'll say this picture is finished and I won't complain any more :>
Btw, that lens flare effect was done by hand... yes, I'm crazy, but the one done with the use of a graphic filter was not satisfying so... yeah, I'm still crazy, I know XD

Oh, and don't mind those sunflowers in the background, I'm a hopeless Russia/America fangirl, I couldn't help myself :>
I like to think of this picture as "Ivan's dream come true"... Warmth, sunflowers and Alfred on top of him, yeah, haha <3
