Description Everyone has that someone special, that person who looks after you from beoynd time, someone who loves you and forever will.
...he is still watching over Drizzt, like a guardian angel.

Zaknafein Do'Urden

I painted this to celebrate my Lavender Eyes gallerys 10 000 gallery views, whee ^^

*please see the full view, loots of details*

***
I'm feeling rather unchristmasy at the moment so this maybe came a lot darker than I intended... depression is eating me slowly, but... painting makes me feel better ^^

drawn with black pen and markers, painted with indian ink, shaded in OpenCanvas. Took about 2 days. The original is huge again, so a lot of details are lost *pouts*
enjoy ^^

-gasp-
This is beautiful, like everything else you've done! I love the tattoos you gave him. They give him a sort of... individuality. The wings were a nice touch, though I do have to say, the picture looks a little... busy. The details are amazing, don't get me wrong, but there's almost too much going on. Still. Wonderful piece!

This is so wonderful!... OMG, you surprise me again and again with your skills! If I had to say one person from Finland who I truly worship, that'd be definitely you. Seriously! And you're a wonderful person too, as far as I know you.
Please keep on with everything! Especially being so lovely.

Oi, onpa ihana! ^_^

Tällainen erikoisempi piirros sinulta, joskin tyyli on TTT eli tutun turvallisen tunnistettava Mie nappaan sen täältä mukaani suosikkeihin, niin voin tutkailla sen yksityiskohtaisuuksia paremmin... ^_^

Voi sentään, olisipa minullakin aikaa piirtää noin antaumuksella..! Kaikki työt ovat jääneet tunnin, kahden raapustelmiksi ja ihan kauhistuin kun huomasin, että olen viimeksi maaliskuussa ehtinyt tehdä isomman lyikkärityön.. O_O Noh, ehkä ensi vuonna rauhoittaa...

kiitoksia ^_^

juu, yritin jotain erilaista

oli kyllä ihana pakertaa tätä vaan 2 päivää välittämättä mistään muusta mitään, kaipasin sitä. toivottavasti siullakin tulee väli että pääset vähän piirtämään

LordOnisyr [2005-12-22 02:15:04 +0000 UTC]

That is beautiful. The angelic quality has a nice gothic tinge to it, which fits Zak's character perfectly. This image is very moving, showing Zak as a beautiful black angel; still dark, still powerful, yet still watching over his son from the hereafter. Very very nice.
