Description
I was going to call this: "Panting hot blood-spattered fire-swinging death-dealing dark warrior Link bwahahah!" but the title wouldn't fit. XD I suppose it could be Link, without a hat...and swinging fire around from his sword...or it could just be a random warrior elf.For you, Kelly, because you inspire me.

I've been looking for this painting for a year or so and I've finally found it!
Here's a little story for you.
TL;DR - Back in 2007 this painting sort of pushed me forward and kind of started my journey in digital painting.
I was having a talk with my father about that I should really try digital painting, because it provided you with the versatility to do marvelous things with this medium. He had bought me a graphic tablet as a gift a few years back but I used it only once or twice and thought that I would never learn to draw or paint on this thing, so I sorta neglected it for a few years and stayed away from the digital painting art form. Anyway we were talking about digital painting in 2007 and while talking I was scrolling through some artworks and I remember stumbling upon this painting and thinking to myself "damn, I'm not sure whether this is some sort of awesome Photoshop work (matte painting) or a digital painting" (by that time I had never seen anything more realistic than this piece). I remember discussing the artwork with my father whether it's done with a graphic tablet (drawn) or it's a bunch of photographs with some filters on top, and he said something along the lines of "well I'm not sure whether or not this is a photo manipulation but I'm sure that it's possible to create a painting of similar quality with a graphic tablet".
I remember thinking that I will never reach this level of realism but I got excited to give it a shot and see how far I could go. At the time I couldn't draw on a graphic tablet even if my life depended on it but I stopped caring at that point and just kept on persisting because it turned out to be so damn fun. So here I am 11 years later, still drawing and painting on a graphic tablet and still excited every time I pick up the stylus.

Oh wow! That is a wonderful story; I'm so happy to have inspired you to pick up that tablet and paint! From what I see in your gallery, you have come very far in all those years! Your father was absolutely right.

OMG is your job. I adore her. A long time ago, my friend found her somewhere in Google graphics. She sent it, saying that it was very much like her Leto, a character from my debut novel. Until today I have it in the file and often guest on my desktop. I'm honored. Thank you. (Sorry my english is bad)

Woa this is absolutely stunning! This is one of the most impressive and most amazing Link artworks I have ever seen.
It looks like a scene from an awesome movie and man I just LOVE how his sword is on fire. I am speechless right now man!

I absolutely love this picture and think it would be perfect for my picture of my character in a small text based Rpg game I play online. I make no money playing this game and will give full credit to you also with a link to your page. Thanks for any reply

Thank you for asking! This image is available for licensing for a small fee ($25). The license would allow you to use the image as your character in your online roleplay for as long as you like.

I don't need it to be licensed for me only, I don't mind if anyone else uses it.

You need to purchase a license from me in order to use this image. A license gives you permission to use the image. I do not allow my artwork to be used to portray other people's characters without a license.

What do you mean by "in one of our online galleries"? What does that entail?
And yes, you can find my commission information on my website: [link]

sorry for my lack of nomenclature, as a picture on our website (decoration, pretty things for people to look at) the page's "style sheet" is called a gallery. Still new to building sites... thanks!

If you mean to use the image as part of the actual website itself, such as headers, backgrounds, buttons, frames, permanent display images, etc., then no, that is something I do not allow. But if you mean to merely have the image as part of a collection in a gallery, where each image has credit to its own particular artist, then that would be fine.

Hey Saimain, love the Dar Warrior! I was wondering if I could have permission to use it as a forum avatar. I will provide links back to your deviantart page as well as meadowhaven. I will also provide you with a link to the forums.

Thank you for asking! I don't allow my artwork to be used for roleplay or character avatars, however. If you mean to use it only as a personal icon, that is fine, so long as credit is provided.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. Yes it will just be used as a personal icon.

This is amazing work!
May I have your permission to use this on a slideshow for a website that I am working on? I won't make any changes to it, and give you full credit. Let me know, I would really appreciate it.

That is fine, so long as you are not using it as part of the actual website, like for the background, banners or buttons. Thank you for asking!
