Okay, so after all that talk about the fact that i'd never get this picture done, here it is...

This picture has taken me weeks and weeks...
I'll probably hate it in a month, but for now there's nothing more i can possibly do to it.

Fully painted a digital bg, which was time consuming but surprisingly fun. The bridge was the hardest part, and i utilized a stock photo for wood grain. The underlay of the water is also stock phono that i then coloured on top of. Ither than that it's all by hand - grass texture, rock texture and the Water sprite all by hand.

So, this is Ahd'ar'ohk on his island of Da'fer by the main bridge over the lake. Here he summons a water sprite in the dark of night... for what purpose? I don't know.

So, in this picture i tried again to do blue lighting (i don't know why i have such a hard time with it), wet fabric and wet hair... I originally tried to do some water droplets on his skin, but they looked like a pox or something, so i axed them. Technichally he should be wet too. I tried ripples, reflections and lighting. what a tough order.

Anyway, i don't know if I succeeded at all, but it was an educational experience. Enjoy~

EDIT~ This image is now available from [link] as a laptop skin! Please check it out~
