Egads... I went crazy with the lighting effects again. Poop. I'd say "I tried to restrain myself, I swear!" but then I'd be embarrassed by my obvious lack of self-control.

Also, I noticed when I resized it... it's very "busy" too many bubbles and stuff. I might make a couple of changes, but I'm so tired of messing with this lol... we'll see.
EDIT: Removed a whole layer and a half worth of bubbles and shrunk the image a bit. It was a little large. I think it looks better now :-)

I like it but I'm not 100% happy with it~ such is life. I'm not sure I like the bloodyness. I might not have put it in there, but I had already drawn the lineart and colored everything with his clothes all torn... plus I had always intended to put blood in there, and it's hard to deviate from the original plan when I'm so far into the process xP

So, do ya think he's done for? Or will he make a miraculous comeback? :D It's up to you~

I drew this with the idea of the last shot you see of a dying character in an RPG story or something. Silver was the first character I ever "officially" decided to kill off, but it's been so long since I seriously worked on the story, that may no longer be the case, I've grown to like him too much now xD *doesn't like it when characters die in stories* ;_;

GAH too shiny! Sorry guys. I'm no better than those who abuse the dodge tool, except I abuse other tools *never uses dodge* lol

PS: I loooove bubbles... it's kinda creepy actually.

Wow! Very cool and atmospheric :D. I wish I could make images that were even half as meaningful and emotion-packed as yours! I quite like the shiny actually lol.

Wow. I haven't seen your Andalten Skies artwork take this dark tone. I never imagined you killing off one of your high calibre characters. I'll have to start assuming less.

I'm not shore if you have over worked the special effects. Silver looks slightly blurred to me. The line work isn’t as sharp as your other work. But he is under water so I guess its OK.

you used the words "such is life." where'd you get them from?
