Description x.x Alt titles would've been "A Warrior Defeated" "Journeys End" or "Game Over"

I don't know how long ive been working on this XD, Seems like MONTHS. Mostly due to art block and being sidetracked with something else.  

And for the first time in a long time this is something that I created to reflect on certain ways I was feeling when I first drew it, To be honest I forget exactly what trigger me to do this but what I was aiming for was that overwhelming feeling you get when your at your whits end. What's in front of you is no easy task and there's no better option if you were to turn around. Sometimes I can get into those moods where its like I feel surrounded with choices, and options and no matter which way I look, im facing losing battles. Im not really an emotional guy but at times I can be and alot of times when I am going through something it can be so hard to voice and express it, even though I want too. Its a strange feeling XD. 

Though I forget what triggered it. It was some months ago though XD 

Originally I was going to be face to face with a Dragon, or some monstrous creature. I then decided against it, was going to with stuck being in a cave but I passed on it as well. Lately I've been watching old videos and lot of which focus on zelda and I remember one of the old strategy guides had this amazing art for the back of the book, So I took inspiration from it. Link down below if your curious!

He doesn't have a baby face. XD But in all seriousness, this too is one of my favs from you. I love how you were able to convey the emotion that you were originally feeling. This is one of your best coloring back when you did this. I love the bg too and how you put expressions on their face. I agree with Anna about the whole thing. And like Jer said that is some great use of shadows indeed. Also love the pose too. *nods*

The emotions come through really well in this. Struggling but not broken. ^^

I love the personal nature of this. It made you work on something pretty darn awesome here. Great use of shadows and dark colors. I feel like I can understand a bit of what you were feeling when you made it by looking at it.
