the colors took me forever to come up with. the border isnt even creative but i couldnt get colors to show up right and i didnt want it to clutter the actual picture TT^TT and thus here we have another line border. oh well *sigh*
i hope even with the lousy border i stand a chance ^__^ though there are so many good artists out there

[EDIT] changed a few small things. eyes sword shine and texture on the shirt.

Waah i cant belive i acctually made runner up! Im so happpy. Thank you all who voted for me! I realy appreciate it ^____^

It's awesome, the hand looks realistic too.
Buut, the hand, looks kind of old, if you know what I mean?

The character is a young guy, while the hand looks like it belongs to a 30 year old dude. xD

Anyways, awesome!

I love the sword the best and while I thought about how it could be rendered a bit deeper in some places, on second thought it adds to the lighting and wash-out effect the way it is... so props!

And good job using a stock! I love it when people can make that work ^.^

Good luck in the contest!

Lovely! I really like the whole composition, the character as a knight looks awesome. I'd change the hair colour but... don't listen, I'm a black-red hair maniac XD

Awesome job!

I really like it!!!!!! It's so different from what I've done. I love the whole scenery.
Although the castle looks like a photo with a filter over it. maybe you could have use more blur or paint it over a bit.
Anyhow, it's very very good!
