Wow, that's some amazing warm light on his skin. Fantastic pose too. You started with a good design, but this piece turns him into a god.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
It has been covered but it deserves to be said yet again, that is one fabulous piece. That takes the in game design to a completely other level. Just WOW!
Great catch there and yeah ... be careful ... withdrawl isn't just for drug addicts.

I did a lot of "oooooo -ing" when I first saw it, congrats and welcome!
me too
that is pretty cool
Me three.
I love the dramatic lighting, vivid colors and high contrast... wicked cool.
The only minor thing I noticed slightly amiss is that the figure is lit predominantly from the right side and while the cast shadows on himself are correctly going right to left (like the shadow of the sword on his thigh) the shadow on the ground looks to be cast from a light source that is overhead and slightly in front of him.
That said I think he did an excellent job on the shadow itself (it looks very accurate and believable) it just needs to be skewed to the left more. A very quick and easy fix if he still has the layers available.
Awesome grab Malus, I have a new artist to add to my DA watch. 
Thank you all for the warm welcome and the great comments. I can't wait to get more artz done. 
...and another addict is born.
