I'd like to think that there is a lot behind this art and that it truly was worth the long time (this is maybe my 3rd longest piece to do) that it took. I used one of Vosur's models this time not as the main aspect of the picture but instead as a reference (yeah, I need references for my own characters, man I suck >.<) with which I (very painfully) crafted this.
I have to admit it came out a lot better than I thought despite my constant thoughts of it going to turn out terrible when I was part-way through. There's still a lot to be desired I feel and some glaring errors leap out at me. Ah well, it's still a darn good effort I feel, especially with his blade.
