Edit 2: (April 23): Redid a LOT of parts. Fixed the green sweater, both of Hawke's hands and arms, Seegie's colors, Seegie's legs, the sword (made it much smaller), the background, the stone, the grass, the overall glow, the leaves and the sun.
I've got a print of this at a whopping 26 x 38 (?) in. It's gorgeous. Not only that, but it's mounted on foam core AND laminated. And you know what else? It's for sale. Note/comment me if you're interested in buying it.
EDIT: I've redone the perspective and added much more light coming from the setting sun. I fixed the orb in the sword and made the halo brighter. I made Hawke more colorful and Seegie LESS colorful. Upon printing out, it looks damn good. Just a little dark. XD I also upped the resolution to 1000ish so you can see more details. The working size was 4200ish by 3000, so I figured 25% of the working size is good to look at. Better than the measley 500px I uploaded before. :/

This was a redo of "The Angel of Time" picture, also in my gallery. I used Hawke's same lineart, but obviously improved on it and added more. Hopefully this will have more than 12 favorites and 30 comments, eh?
Wow...I like this pic. I really love the staff, very cool glowy ball effect. ^^ I also like the lighting on the sythe the other character has, very nice.
Oh wow...that's just gorgeous! I love the poses and all the details in both the characters and the background. The lighting effect looks beautiful! So soft and glowy. The only critique I can think of is to be careful with line distinction in the dark areas. The way you knock out your lines makes for great realistic shading, but it makes things look a little ambiguous in the dark, particularly with the guys' legs. Overall, amaaazing piece! I'm definitely impressed.
the setting sun ia amazing
