See... The problem with a shading job is that that is precisely what I'm going to do with the original - It's likely going to be a black and white painting. I really want to see what it will look like in colour, myself. And I SO want to see your colouring skills that you say are so awful. Remember, Lloyd... Much of your black and white work you consider to be horrid while I consider them absolute gems. (On that note... Of course you can shade it, but it wouldn't be in the contest. It would just be a present for Robin. )
