<edit>
I decided to reduce the res. on this and I've upload a detail shot [link]
(Easier total viewing for you guys)
And I also called it dying, because I have an idea for 'blood'
</edit>

Raven from Fire Emblem 7 - part of my challenge with ~SwordDemon
100 Fire Emblem Fanarts
I put the mature audiences thing on
because it's realistic and theres blood everywhere (So 17. Blood).
And he's dying (Which I suppose supports 43. Dying)
............................................................

I now have proven to myself that if I start with a 'realistic' sketch
I can actually do a pretty good realistic digital painting
_{Unlike my last attempt - cause I started with an anime lineart}
I love this one though - I''m definitely improving (It's my 3rd attempt)

The sketch itself took about 2.5-3 hours [link]
The ' painting' took about 2 days - I worked on it non-stop almost
(I was up until 11:30 last night working on it)

I love the details that I've put it though - especially the scratches on the metallic stuff ^o^

Oh and ground textures were from:



(I used filter effects for the clothing texture)
