Wow. Am speechless.
Artist Comment
Hello Minitokyo, it's been a while.
Started this right after "To find your flower", so it's actually the only thing I drew in almost 3 years
(drawing a little every now and then, and starting from scratch countless times).
Original with 0.5 mechanical pencil on a 65x50cm grainy paper so I had to scan it in 6 times and have fun in PS. Quality
is crap but I may post a closeup later.
A lot of inspiration over the years, but no ref used. I could write a book about this but I would rather hear what you feel about the pic on its own, feel free to ask/critic/etc...
Dedicated to all those who said I would never finish it, and to those around here who still remember me :) .
PS: feel free to use as wallpaper, but do not post anywhere else. Thank you!
EDIT: Thanks a lot for the highlight, it seems original art gets a lot more attention here than it used to :) .
I posted some details shots and personal thoughts on the picture on my userpage for those interested.
Highlighted
Chosen by Chloe and fireflywishes
GaiJiN makes a powerful comeback with this stunning piece of art. The shading and attention to detail is of a very high caliber, which sets it apart from the rest of the gallery. One of the few pieces in the doujinshi gallery that can be labelled as "flawless". Keep up the outstanding work!

3 years... sweet as, the background along with the character, Superb
Wish I could do something like this (gasps)
Nowadays, it's hard for me to settle down and draw... Never get enough comfort.
Okay, so about how long did you spend on this each day, approximately? -

if this thing doesnt get highlighted, then im definitely sure the gallery directors are biased...
it deserves nothing less than the highest form of recognition
well done! -

What can I say? Perfection.
Your lines are nice and clean and your detail work (especially the tree on the right) is amazing. Definitely worthy of a fav from me! :D

Really something outstanding here in MT, I guess. Fine artlines, great lighting and shading, and tremendous details. Yay! Perfection! :D

(I wonder if this actually worth two highlights rather than one ;) . Great work!)

Holy...wow! That is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. The detail is incredible, the lines are clean and natural, the lighting is beautiful...I....wow. The building to the right has the perfect "ruins" look and the tree is darn spiffy. The outfit looks fantastic, the stairway is realistic, the stone paving on the ground and the weeds shooting through are really impressive, and the hair, along with the sword-hair, is absolutely gorgeous. Simply stunning.
Thank you so very much for putting all that work into this and then uploading it for us to enjoy. I am truly glad I was able to see this.

Outstanding job, really. I can't even fathom how those 3 years were trying to finish it, but it was worth all the while. Thank you for sharing this! You are amazing! -

This is simply amazing. I'm speechless- I think it's safe to say that you've redefined the meaning of excellence in our MT doujinshi gallery.

Doujin had never impressed me the way your piece has. I mean it even looks better than professional works you see around.
It's a hell of a pleassure when you see someone putting in so much effort into something that it translates into a piece of admirable work.
You sir have raised the bar far too high.
A fav? you bet ya!
