Felt pen lineart on A3 paper, coloured with a mouse on Paint Shop Pro. Around 14 hours. Completed December last 08.




Well the lineart is bigger than I normally draw it, and the colouring style is different to my usual approach, so this picture was challenging in many regards. Credit goes to ~xennavor for designing the disc in the background for me. It's wicked sick.

And yes, the chains were difficult to draw. If I may say, I like the weapon designs but.

Done in celebration of the forum's 2nd year anniversary! As I said last year, I'm very glad that people are taking an interest in the world of Riiga. Anybody is free to join Riiga. We are very flexible with time (some members post once every few months) and you do not need any previous role-playing experience. We want you to have fun and be creative, not invent masterpieces of philosophical literature!

"Formally known as..." oh god, I thought Arky's name was tough.

So what're all the chains for? Surely not because he needs a belt.

It's so rare to see someone who draws children, even rarer to see someone who draws them *so well.*

Absolutely gorgeous! The whole design is amazing. My eye was automatically drawn to every little detail in the weaponry and to the grungy, realistic look of the chains. The shading is beautiful too. Soft (such as his skin and hair) and vibrant (the gold, weaponry) in the right places. Very nice. :clap:

Of course. God is a child. That explains a lot.

I love the detail in the weapons & the halo. Thumbs up!

The contrast between the gold 'amulet' on his back and the rest is too great. As in, the amulet seems almost animated and the rest is too soft. Then again, it can also be seen as a really nice effect. The details on this are absolutely stunning, though. Well done!
