Description This char belongs to my Dukes of Arnor series,and he is the 4th of the seven dukes inhabiting Arnor.
P.shop CS, took half day~enjoy~ pls full view~thnx~
The Sixth of the 7 dukes,Ragefeon can be viewed here~[link]

First try experimentin with desaturated colors,and i must say i love them~hope u do~

a little info about this pic//
In Crysalis,an subterranean realm,everything is lighted by their King,an eternal source of light til he dies,and Cristoph Demean,a distinguished defender of Crysalis,was promoted to become an Archduke,a first for any crysalis heirarchy.
As Crysalis is an underworld realm,nations of light always tris to extinguish their life and thus,Crysalis is forced to practice powers of Deirine(magick of chaos God) to defend themselves,and thus Cristoph sacrificed his mortal life to become a Deiriek(undead) and the wound inflicted by Shannon the Bright stays on Cristoph's face,scarring the Archduke into shame and solitude.

That's a really badass swordXD I think I saw some shadowy creatures on the flat of the blade. Anyway, I love the green-brown tones. Gives the pic a sense of "mustiness".

Tis great, again great technique in the cg, seems like it was done with pastels, the sword reminds me of cloud from FF, always thought those massively big fat swords were funny But you painted it so well, I dont really care, in fact it adds to the feeling of power while dwarfing the actual wielder. Nice armour too.
