Description zomg...wait wait....a submission?!
yes...I started this August 06...and have just finished it o,o
It started out as one thing but has ultimatly turned into another, for the best really....

What it has turned out to be is a portrait of my better half's, ~The-Wolfman , Final Fantasy XI character Reignier, in full Dark Knight mode. Though I hasten to comment he is not the normal Dark, brooding soul you'd find in these suits of armour..despite the title xD..
..ano..i'm rambling..

Mostly this was done in Painter & was really just a massive experiment, to get used to the program - and to actually get a grasp of painting totally digitally, as most of my stuff is drawn freehand by traditional means & then scanned in, to be painted/touched up in Photoshop.
Overall I'm happy with the outcome ^^ the only thing that bothered me was his armour which was tough to get a feel for...as it were...but I decided to leave it there rather than obsess & stress over it - and probably end up ruining it.
The background im rather pleased with usually im crap at them but its turned out ok

Now I have another project to finish.
See you Christmas XD;;

Reignier belongs to Jeremy Orme...and me...though mostly him, I just lock him a room sometimes stare through a hole in the door ^___^;

that is AMAZING. I absolutely love his hair, his eyes, his face. Really, his eyes. They look so...REAL. And I like the fact that they are looking directly at the viewer, as if he was about to say something IMPORTANT. Like he was holding you with his eyes.

Now. Because you did such an awesome job on the face and made it look really really real, I think you could have spent more time on the armour. It looks painted, which next to the face is kind of distracting. But anyways. It still looks awesome.

Welcome back to postage, btw

XD thank you ^^ yea, the armour was an issue >_o but as I put in the comment, i felt if id obsessed over it i may have overworked or ruined the pic & the feel i had for it - so i may have ended up hating it O__O which i didn't wan't to do D: better to admit defeat & paint better another day ^^

I don't play Final fantasy XI but I can tell this is a brilliant character and beautiful art, the emphasis on the face is remarkable. And to work on it for such a long period must take a LOT of patience

Very Beautiful, from the suttle background to the darkness of the hair and eyes. I love it, it better than anything I can do on a computer.
