So yesterday was my 6th year anniversary on DA! I had intended on posting this up then, but I didn't finish it until late last night (which was technically early this morning). I've been chiseling away at it for about two weeks now, slowly and in fairly small sittings. I'm really surprised I didn't finish it sooner, actually.
Anywho, there's a lot to see in this one! Aside from Yoki, Jules, Durango, and Carmine, you guys haven't been introduced to any of the other characters here. I was unsure about posting an image including so many characters that I hadn't revealed before because I wanted to keep some things a little more under-wraps. But I figured it doesn't hurt to let people see the characters.
Still, I won't be telling you much about them. You'll have to wait for the finished product for that kind of intel. ;D
The logo in this image is not the final logo (still haven't managed to make a new one), but it works for this picture.
I think I'd like to get this printed out and sell some copies on my Etsy shop, but I'd also really like to have the character group image printed on a shirt. I'll let you guys know if I do anything like that.
Anyway, lots of stuff to do today. Toodles, enjoy, and thanks for six awesome years on Deviantart (and here's to many more)!

This image and all characters related to "The Quest for Love with Yoki Safari" are (c) me, Andrew "Drew" Green, and are not for use in any way, shape, or form without my permission first.
EDIT: Uploaded the version with the current "Yoki Safari" logo.
EDIT2: Wow, a DD, thank you guys so much! I wanted to note to anyone who cares that many of the characters seen here have had some more drastic design changes recently so this isn't the most accurate representation of them, but I still like it as a piece and I hope you will too. ;D

I'd buy the hell out of this if it was a print. It reminds me of some of your best attributes, and also reminds me of some of my favorite stuff from PoPoLoCrois Monogatari.
I really really enjoy this picture! You're character design is amazing! And the execution of the image (composition and effects) is perfect! I have a question though...how did you make everything in your picture have that nice 'antique' tint? Anyway, great job, and SEND THIS IDEA TO CARTOON NETWORK! THEY NEED MORE IDEAS FOR CARTOONS BEFOrE THEY TURN TO LIVE ACTION!! lol
Fff this is brilliant! Such excellent design and color palette and amazing looking characters! 8D I'd LOVE to buy a copy of this book!!!! Ka-Blam printing is a great print-on-demand printer and they also have a free store to sell your comics at with no commission on their part other than the cost to print.
I like your style ....
