Rebirth

 You can read the story here.  

Heh, I wanted to paint something more complex than just portraits. Hone my skill. Mebbeh. But, at least, this piece I like faaaar better than my other LoS art I painted a year ago. THIS MEANS SOMETHING YES. Mostly painted by using this wonderful, WONDERFUL brush set! 

Anyway, this is a brand new cover image for my Lords of Shadow 2 not-so-official sequel fic. It packs quite a lot of symbolism as well, most of which will become apparent from the later, yet to be written, chapters. Or, at very least, I shall try by utilizing my show-not-tell skills. In any case, if you have any questions on the plot or the characters, feel free to drop a note/PM/review. Constructive criticism is a viable way of becoming a better writer. xD And artist. 

Yes, I know. I completely ignored the last segment of Gabe's belt. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT. 

But, above all, I must express gratitude to ArmachamCorp for ripping and uploading some of the LoS and LoS2 models! Without them, I wouldn't have the guts to paint something so complex. *whispers* _{The hands, and the belt, and everything else as a matter of fact...}

Biblical motifs are everywhere. If you can guess who Dracul represents here, (three words) I shall give you a cookie. Shouldn't be hard considering he's 'holding' a horn and has wings.   

Around 25 hours, ~190 layers, Photoshop CS6.
