Last Drag / The Ugly Truth

I was totally inspired by this contest. I was a smoker for 16 years before quitting almost 7 years ago. Quitting smoking was extremely difficult ..it definitely felt as though I was battling a relentless monster.
Believe it or not, this picture started as a greyscale pencil sketch that I did in high school many years ago. I revisited this piece and changed it up a bit for this contest.
