Hey bro, thanks! I was thinking of your Dante on and off when i was painting the white hair ^^ If Elric had a pistol, I think things could become a legal issue... jk.

8D the runes are really nifty >w< is that a font?
I can read it XD ehheheh "stormbringer" reading up one side and down the other ... ^^

Thanks, yeah, picking the font to go by was a bit tricky. It is 'Futhark' I wanted to keep it runic, but something that was cohesive to my sword design. I was thinking of making it say its real name, but spoilers arent my style.. ^^

I hear they are doing a redo of the graphic novels of Elric, maybe you could do a cover or 2.

This is so freaking awesome! Love how you have created the sword with the dragons and all the chainmail and metal scale armor! You totally nailed this one! Love how you have painted the characters face and how he seems to just fade into the darkness. Excellent use of light and shadow! Just love this!

Hey thanks. Sounds crazy, but its only when i decided to only paint in my free time, seriously nothing else, that things started to get good. I miss playing my pc games.

lol well maybe when you get into it you'll be able to go back to pc games and entertain yourself without losing your creative "oomph". May send you notes to get tips on shop, self-teaching sucks.

check out Dave Rapoza.
Also, nothing substitutes doing the 10,000 hour rule. Im open to helping with Photoshop tho.

What's the "10,000 hours rule"..? Do anything for 10,000 hours and you're officially good at it? 
This is an amazing piece of work. I love the detail in his arms and armor and the blade itself. Awesome work.

Thanks for praising it. I found this online to help with your question.
"What Is the 10000 Hour Rule?
The 10000 Hour Rule is just that. This is the idea that it takes approximately 10000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill.
For instance, it would take 10 years of practicing 3 hours a day to become a master in your subject. It would take approximately 5 years of full-time employment to become proficient in your field. Simply work out how many hours you have already achieved and calculate how far you need to go. You should be aiming for 10000 hours.
The Man Behind the 10000 Hour Rule
The 10000 Hour Rule is usually attributed to the research done by Anders Ericsson in the early 1990s. He and his team divided students into three groups ranked by excellence at the Berlin Academy of Music and then correlated achievement with hours of practice. They discovered that the elite all had put in about 10000 hours of practice, the good 8000 and the average 4000 hours. No one had fast-tracked. This rule was then applied to other disciplines and Ericsson found that it proved valid."
I have no idea how many hours I have into drawing. Been doing it as far back as i can remember. Anyway digital painting is my new 10,000 hour goal. I have under 4,000 hours.
