So i managed to get the piece finished on Monday!

For a first try testing the waters with this kind of style of realism, i am beyond proud with the outcome.
Regardless of it being perfect or not, i love it and i think i really did amazingly.

I am so glad i managed to get it finished tonight or i would have been so sad ahaha.
Used my original sketchy Realism piece i did of him as the base to get the details in the correct place as i had them in my original messy sketch.

Took at total of around 10-11 hours ( usually my other pieces of this size would be more like 8 hours ) which is not too bad :D
I am so thankful to that tutorial for showing me the best tools in Sai to have made this possible!!
