For the final assignment, we were given the choice of either doing a massive illustration which featured the 3 characters from the earlier half of the semester or the 4 stylized characters from the later half. I decided to go back to more familiar grounds with the earlier half. For this illustration, I wanted to really add a lot of drama, through the use of lighting and texture. I also wanted to fully flash out on the details that wasn't present on the earlier versions of the same characters. This one took a good 30+ hours.
Based on the following characters:
Foreground Character -
[link]Background Character -
[link]Creature -

The lightning streaks are created using a 'rake' brush. I think it can be found in Daarken's brush set.
But the general feedback was that the texture did not work on the foreground character, so I erased the texture on him.
