Nil - Sylvalian Portrait

This is Nil as you've never seen him before - realistic!

I decided to use my DS to do another painting, and that painting turned out to be the first picture I've drawn of Nil wearing his Sylvalian armour.

I wanted to make it look as realistic as I could, but at the same time, challenge my ability to draw from my head, so I tried to make a fairly detailed, realistic picture without the use of any form of a reference.

This image's colours have been pretty massively edited, because the way it looked when transferred to my PC was almost nothing like it did on my DS. Thus, I edited the colours to pretty closely match how it looked on my DS screen. I'll have a link to the unedited version, along with the replay data of how I painted it, as soon as I get it up on the Colors! gallery.
