My entry for Winterdreamer's contest. I hope I am still in time xD I actually knew from the start that I would not have enough time... but this was such a great excuse to draw Stormshade, I couldn't let it pass by. Seriously, I love that character. I don't stand a chance in hell against the others in the contest, but that doesn't matter ^__^ I wish the others good luck as well btw.

Autch, if I had more time this would have been twice as detailed and refined. But well. It's not x"D (doh)

Time: 30 hours

Done fully in photoshop (ugh). I had a lineart drawn (and it was much prettier), and then my scanner didn't work anymore... Woohoo. So that's why I drew it in PS all over again.

Oh, and I like that right hand XD
I don't want any heavy crits anymore, small pointers are fine. Except for on the face, I know it's terrible and I ain't gonna change it.

bravo, pics like this are the reason why i came to paperdemon, this pic is great

i can't see how it could be twice as detailed the deatil on this is already great, although the rock is a little blurry, but thats just me.

as mentioned by saigith it does give of a quest for camelot feel, i love that movie.

Good luck with the contest ^^

I really like it, espiceally the rock texture he's sitting on. Reminds me very much of the Quest for Camelot for some reason. I really like he's clothes ^^

  Thank you very much ^__^ Lol, the texture of the rock is made with the *cough* standard grass brushes photoshop has xD Of which everybody says they're useless.
  
  What's the 'Quest for Camelot'?

  Quest for Camelot is an animated movie made years ago about King Author, Excaliber, and the Knights of the Round Table, but more fantasy based than the actual legend. (I love that movie )
  
  The rock he's sitting on just reminded me of the rock formations in the movie, particually in an area called the Forbidden Forest.
  
  And you're welcome ^^
