Description

Finally done, lots of errors, but NO MORE. Probably the longest I have never spent on a picture, with every little detail drawn out. Face is wrong in so many ways but I just couldn't make it work- I always seem to mess up painted faces. Lineart is fine, but when painted? Nope. Need more practice and guess.
Fire was a pain to figure out, but a painting flame tutorial and looking at lots of pics of fire in motion helped.
Lots of errors, but I still like this. Took long enough, might as say I'm sick of looking at it and will like it better once It's out of my mind.

Full picture is a massive 10k pixels tall, and 25 meg image file.
Pic done in 4 main layers: Lines, colour/shading, fire, background

This looks awesome. And I understand. Faces are so hard to paint ;_; It's like "how do...?"

Anyways, I love the reflection of light off the stone. I think that's really the most beautiful thing in this picture. Though, it's very obvious the time and effort put into all of the intricate detailing. Great job. C:

The only real bit of critique I have is the eyebrows just seem... last minute painted on. Maybe a little more detailing there. >3<
Keep up the great work!
