This is utterly amazing and perfect - the lighting, textures and realism are astonishing, the anatomy is fantastic, the detail is incredible, the colours are perfect... it's all just amazing!
Even the expressions on the characters are great - wonderful job! This looks a bit different to some of your usual stuff - it looks like you've used textures, brushes and filters... but I'm sure you haven't used any of those things aside from the round default brush, it's just the effect the final piece has, it makes it look as though you have, which is quite an interesting look. Still, it looks super-cool and realistic, and the lighting is just great!
Haha, as to your reply to Nashatok... you say everyone can reach this level, I personally don't agree - well, maybe other people can get there, but I certainly won't. I'm probably the worst artist on dA, and I don't think that is going to change any time soon... even if I improve I'll still be better than I used to be, but worse than everyone else. :'D

You're very welcome, of course. And ha, I don't think my comments are lovely at all, but you're too kind as always.
Ah, about that...
I put my art in storage becauseΒ I couldn't bear to look at it any more. Because of Uni and things at home, I have barely been able to draw for a whole year, and even when I had a bit of time to draw, I found I couldn't... because my art was so terrible.
I took down my gallery first, because every time I saw any of my art, I was so distracted by the hatred for it that I was unable to do anything new because all I could focus on was how awful everything I had ever made was.
I have always hated my art, but the hate for it continued to grow, and things outside of dA continued to get worse, so out of anger I took down every single thing I have made, including my icon because it was made by myself.
I didn't see the point in keeping any of it up because it was just dreadfully bad, and part of me is still seriously considering leaving dA and quitting art for good...

I can relate to your issues. I haven't drawn much in the last months for the same reasons. However, I never intended to leave DA because I've met so many wonderful people. My appreciation for my art is slowly getting back positively, but self-loathe did a lot of damage.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that indeed... but it is good at least to hear that your appreciation for your art is getting better again. <3
I never wanted to leave dA because I have met a lot of amazing people too - though with people I know on dA, I often feel like I don't deserve to have met them and I don't deserve their friendship - they are talented artists and wonderful people, and I'm just a worthless waste of space. I sometimes feel a bit guilty and wonder if their lives would have been so much better if they had never met me in the first place - they probably would, and not just the people I know online.
It is a shame you went through that feeling, since I'm sure your art was NOT the sort anyone should hate - judging by your icon it's bloody amazing.
In my case, I have always had self-loathing issues - and by always I literally mean since I was able to speak. I have never liked my art, and never been proud of anything I had done - but despite my intense dislike for it, it didn't stop me from doing it.
But then real life got more and more in the way, and my stress levels and self-loathing skyrocketed to stratospheric levels, and whilst before I was still able to draw even though I hated the result, I found that now even when I had the time to draw (which, as a medical student with a craptastic schedule, was extremely rare indeed) I just wasn't able to do it anymore...
I don't know what will happen now, or what decision I will make - it is too early to know.
I am glad though at least for you that things are startingΒ to get better, and I hope they continue to do so! You seem like a pretty awesome person, I hope things go well for you. ^^

Aww, you're far too nice...
I don't want to give up, no matter how much it may seem like I will... I want to try to fight the urge and not give in to it, but I don't know if I can.
Still, thank you for your kind words, and thanks from my noodles. <3

Nope, everyone can make it! You just need to have a lot of practise. Just look at my gallery, in last pages you can see awful arts for sure! Just never give up in your development!!
