“I’m searching for a person I hardly know, in a place so far from home, and I don’t even know where I’m going anymore. I followed their trail, as just as Kodine told me, but all that remains are footprints; the footprints of the one he announced my engagement to.
“Ezrail would never have decreed such a thing; freedom of choice was at the centre of his beliefs. With his death, however, and Kodine’s ascension into power, comes a dark time for the Noble House of Hrakken.â€

At roughly 70 layers, and an original size of 2220 X 2580 pixels, this takes about two minutes to save. Lol.
I’m really proud of this… it took about two weeks to do, on and off, between other things (I PROMISE NOTHING…). It’s funny how whenever I say ‘I probably won’t be doing any highly detailed artwork’ always turns into ‘HEY LOOK WHAT I JUST CRAPPED OUT!’
Anyway, I also discovered that it’s really hard to reference wrinkles when the clothes you’re using for references are the ones you’re currently wearing.
Brownie points if you can figure out where the two arrows are pointing!

Yes if you like it, no if you don’t, but when the ticker hits zero, no is just plain rude.

Apart from the good composition and color choices, the impressive texturing really slams this one home.

All right! I am going to comment away, so you better appreciate this..gif "Nudge nudge, wink wink ;)")
I really like the small fur detail--it really makes this picture. My first prob is that the ears...don't seem placed right, of the face is too small compared to the proportion of the ears. I think it's mainly the position of the ears--they're too big for being so close to the face, or the face needs to be bigger to accomidate the proportions of the ears. (Well, and the face looks kinda small...mew.) However, I REALLY love all the colors you chose for this picture. And the design, great! The clothing is...very very well done. As for the stick, I might add a little more knotty detail to it, but I like it anyway. I love how you did the sand. (DO A TUT ON IT!!!) I love how you did the lighting, too. I think you did a very good job. The detail is just gorgeous. Mew!
