Comment: Now this one I LIKE. LIKE!!!

I'm very happy with it. I used the frame thinger again, only I layed it out before hand instead of just throwing on the frame like my last pic of Bevan. I also did some research on scythes too. I went more with the "Death" scythe design rather than the real one that is used for harvesting. lol. That one has handles and crazy stuff on it. I like the more plain looking scythe, one that has only a slight curve in the handle. I also am in love with the blade on this one. I might even keep the design I have here.

As for Bevan, I like him in this one too. I like the added feathers to his hair, it reminds me a lot of Kenny, my boyfriend, because he's indian and very fond of his heritage (I don't blame him, indians so rock my socks! XD). I used a few different techniques on him, such as his hair. I used a little bit of blue in it to give it more depth I guess you could say, sort of a way to echo all the blue around him and the shading of his fur. I didn't think using gray for his fur would work in this particular piece, so I shaded lightly in sky blue.

The background itself I'm pretty happy with. :nod: It came out alright. :) I couldn't quite get the depth I wanted on the fog around the mountains but besides that I think it looks pretty snazzy.

If anyone steals this they WILL pay!!! :stab:

:love: I :heart: this forever!!! I put it on my deskietop nows. :sprint:

:iconstinko:
I think you created a wonderful sense of balance with the tail and the scyth. And the landscape behind your character is really beautiful. But uh, wouldn't he be a little chilly? :)
:iconhorus-goddess:
lol. Probably... he has lotsa tiger fur. XD well probably not enough to withstand the cold of heights like that.. :shrug: Anyway. XD

Thanks for your compliments. :nod: I appreciate it muches!
:icontoshimustgrind:
OhhH!!
This is cool!!
:D

I like the pictures that escape there frame, like this!! :D
I was trying to make a Yamcha banner for web boards that did that! hehe.

Anyways, really cool!!
For a scyth, it's looks pretty angelic. VERY nice work. It's deadly but sustains it's own angelic-feeling beauity.

So, you think your gonna stick with this Gargoyle-esque fire colored loin cloth? :P
:icontakuminanashi:
You've done it again! This is amazing. I :love: it.
