Description

<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 :faint:
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:
:iconresurgere:
:iconenframed:

(I used filter effects for the clothing texture)

First of all, I love the angle! It has the feeling of him coming to me, begging for help.. Or grinning in pain mixed with hate.

The hair is very well done, I myself suck doing hair (takes too long and I'm lazy). The scar in the face is also nicely worked up.

The eyes then again lack the depth. Don't be afraid to pull colors and use darker values! Same goes to the clothing and teeth, somehow it looks like it's still work in progress. The part just under the face should be in shadow, judging from the direction of light, unless the face is floating.

As for the hands, they're awesome. I envy anyone who can do hand well. Another part I'm not good at. You could've used a bit sharper values for them, but I think it matches the other parts well as they are now.

So all in all, very great work, even if it could have more depth in colour. Don't hesitate making absurd changes in colors <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />
