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.

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.

Even now, your artful creations still excite me. I don't quite expect that this will be his end. I am getting a more heavenly tone from the bright and clear water beneath him. It seems more like he would be having an out-of-body-experience, far less than death. Besides, what kind of human source of water might ever be that shiny... or clear... or clean.

Sarconda Says:

ok... at first i thougy, OH! He looks so happy... now in detail, he doesnt... he looks like he's dying... i guess the blood at his mouth makes it look as if he's smiling...
