I usually don't ask for a full view, but just looking at this one, it's a must to see all the good detail!

Hedran has alway been the kindly, respecting, and shy but cute character of mine. There is however, a small small bit of him that is the fighter. This was brought out in a (rather dormant at the moment) rp I started call "Crimson Chains" where people were almost literally plucked off the streets and put in illegal arenas where the fighters were slaves forced to fight for their lives for the entertainment of others. Hedran was the unfortunate one to end up in that predicament.

This started out as being Jess's other commission (she asked for Hedran, being his first fan, aside from me. XD), but I liked to so much that I began to think that I might just keep it and put it into competition at the fair. X3 Don't worry Jess, you'll still get your pic of Hedran!

I had tons of fun coloring this one last night, since I had no internet access to distract me. Putting a picture into the County Fair for judging had been one of my many goals for the summer, so I have the hard part done, yay! I just have to get an approval from my Mom (I'm kinda nervous about this one. My parents tend to be a little edgy about pictures like this, although I would say it's THAT bad. ), matt it, get a form, and enter it! After that, the other part of the goal is to place high! Last year, in the other County Fair, I got first place in my category, but I'm to late for this one, as it starts tommarrow. :/ However, the one I'm entering is a little more tough, which I'm looking forward to. Last time I entered, I entered with a piece I got first place on in the other fair, and placed second. So, yeah. Wish me luck!

I tried hard not to get out of the lines too much, as is my habit, although I was looking for a more rough look, like in the background (which was actually very last minute, oops!). I was also looking for a more dynamic shading, so it looked kinda like cell shading, but kinda not. I tried to get the metalic look on the chains and knife, although I'm not sure if I quite got it right. I used white acrylic paint to do the highlights on the chain links and in Hedran's eye, which made me consider putting it in the "Mixed Media" spot, although I eventually put it here, like with the rest of my pictures. Where to put the shading and highlights was a big pain, as I was undecided on where the lightsource would be exactly. The chainlinks were a big problem during inking, and quite a few ended up rather warped. If anything's going to boot me out of a good place, it's those two things. However, my hopes are still high. :3
