EDIT 19/01/2015: Title fixed. Did not realize the last part of it was missing until just now, but . . . hey, at least it's fixed now. xD

EDIT 17/05/2013: Fixed Sol's cloak, added a little more shading here and there. Old version can be seen here if you wish to compare: fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201…

I started this thing on March 30th. I've been working on it almost every day since then for several hours.
Holy crap how am I not dead yet. I'm not even sure how long it took to complete, maybe ten hours? Possibly twelve?
I don't even know.
I am extremely proud of this piece. It came out far better than expected, especially considering the sketch it grew from.
However, there are still a few errors that I've noticed. Minor things for the most part, but then there's the scabbard, which hangs awkwardly from its strap, and that other dude's cape is . . . odd. I need to practice drawing long, flowing fabrics and shit.
I would have liked to put more detail into this as well, but by the time I finished the line art I realized my canvas was too small,
and resizing it would have lowered the quality. There was no way I was going to go and redraw the line art. No fucking way.
But hey, whatever. I'm still happy with the outcome. C:

So, Doramire Kin'Delor is once against featured in a drawing. He's always a ton of fun to draw, but all of those damn
details. Like holy shit. He took the longest to complete in this--line art and coloring.
Dare I reveal the identity of the silver-armored dude? Sure, why not. His name is Sol D'Vare, though on here I believe
I've only referred to him by his title: Seeker of Truth.
Unfortunately I can't actually say what's going on in the picture here. What I've told you above is already spoiler-y
enough, and as The Calypsis Project comes closer to release I realize I should try to keep spoilers to a minimum.

P.s, I noticed that Sol's crotch may look a little odd. He is in fact wearing a codpiece under his bodysuit.
I could have drawn it as an armor piece, but I kind of . . . couldn't. It looked weird somehow.
Pfffff.

Creepy.

Not sure who they are, OC's? regardless what cool designs. Lets start with criticism then on to the rest.

Something about the sword hanging from the pants feels off. Doesn't actually look like it's swaying back like that. Certain aprts around the cape look a bit grainy and looks like it was photoshopped on, not drawn. Noticed that with certain parts around the wolf creature thing's arm.

The background is kind of boring though for such a dramatic scene. Needs a bit more oomph, ya know?

But other then that, gorgeous image. You are talented. I like the lighting effects tool.

Very nice art! I like how everything has this feel of motion, though my eye unfortunately gets immediately drawn to that sword that's just sort of sticking out to the corner of the picture. The colouring is great, nice lighting.

Thank you so much!
It should actually be on a totally different angle, but
I couldn't draw it on the intended angle worth a shit, so
I just did what I could. I'm thinking about removing the
scabbard altogether, to be honest, but as the character
is supposed to be wearing it in this scene, I'm not sure
I want to take it out entirely. xD

This is just... wow. Gorgeous. I just... wow. I keep looking back at it and just staring at all the details. All the shading, and the lighting, and the highlights around each figure are flawless, and the very different cultures that they represent just... wow. All I can say is wow. Just... wow.
