Description
Alright! I'm done, I'm sick of it and I shall never look at it again!! AARGGH!!Why did thsi take four weeks you might ask? Let me explain.
APPARENTLY, I made a layer that was too big. Yeah. So Photoshop gives me an error when I go to open it reading something like 'cannot complete request as this file is not compatible with this verison of Photoshop' .....@.= My ass it isn't! Three weeks working on it and it gives me this crap? I think not...
I would have started over, but my mom sent me a adobe error help thing after I complained about it enough. It wasn't the right error but it worked anyways and I got the thing back. The layers were destroyed and I had to spend 6 hours redefining them, but it's best not to complain.
The background is crap, I know...and the water is the very reason I had to go through all that hell. I now hate water...why is it all my favourite chars have to do with water...meanwhile in real life I hate water? and look! Look what it managed to do to me virtually! I can't escape!
Anyways, why is this the break away title? Well see the chain he's holding? It's supposed to be on his head as a sign of his banishment. This scene is at the end when he finally get his soul stone back and the chain falls off or he's able to take it off. You might also notice the markings on his face are lit up now, which represents the amount of spirit force his body is limited to. So he got his powers back, he's got his kick ass sword and no more chain on the head and now can go save...soemthing...i haven't gotten that far yet.
In a nut shell, he is 'breaking away' from the weakness his body has throughout the entire story and finally gets his true strength back. Woot! No more inerds eating themselves! (as you might imagine...that incorporates a lot of blood)
It's blue. I said I wouldn't do blue...but things turn blue so easily...
I threw blood in, mwaha. Love blood. Not like, love.
And now back to pondering what the heck i'm gonna use for the next title...><
(c) Avarice/Keraph to me (techincally that's not Keraph, it's Avarice...but lets stray off details shall we?)

I love the angle on this piece. Dynamic angles are so fun and can really give life to a picture.

That's an image that captured my eyes the moment I've seen it. The strength emitting from the character is impressive, the perspective is awesome and the mystical touch created by the glow of the sword and the beautiful background makes this a great picture.
Awesome work.

Oh, I feel you pain. I had a picture that I was working on for a class and it just so happened to be huge because it was a .tiff file and the little bugger deleted itself, and shorted my jump drive so now it doesn't work at all... >.> Needless to say I failed that project...

Something similar happened to me in Photoshop one time. =_= I flattened the whole image, resized it, then SAVED IT on accident without finishing it. I thought all was lost, but then I figured out a way to save it. Everything turned out okay, I guess. X3

FIRE AND RAIN! I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN!
When photoshop gives you that "not complatible" crap I get REAL angry because it was made on photoshop to start with! Gawr. Mind sharing how you saved it? TT^TT I've lost so many files that way.
Anywhoo, Your water is not crap. If I could actually DO backgrounds... 
That is a niiiiiiiccceee sword.

oh!! I can teach you how to make it give back a flattened version of whatever you lost! Select the one you wanna open, hold shift-alt and then open the file and it'll ask you if you wanna flatten it, which is how you get it back! Yay, I hope that helps you out!
And thanks, the sword is one of my favourite things about drawing this guy!^^

S'ABOUT BLOODY TIME! but its nice to see! wow. totally what i wasnt expecting. and what are you talking about? theres barely any water in there! course....cept for the stuff keraph's standing on. which, i might add, is quite exceptionally well done. i dont belive you did that all. you musta used a stamp or something. cause its really awsome.. and...all sparkley 
so...keraph looks like he's going to kick some serious ass. his face is abit *tilts head* weird... it almost looks liek his mouth is happy...but cover up his mouth and its like his eyes are all wisty sad. the perspective is quite well done dearie. o_o how the...waaaait a sec. WHEN THE HECK!? i just noticed that recently in your last few dev's youve totally kicked ass when its come to perspective. *peer* how did you get so good? huh. musta been from the beautiful inspiration i so handsomly inspire thus upon you.
all around, i give this 3 thumbs up *holds your thumb up as well*.

gee thanks...=.= well ill have you know that that water was the hell i'd been talking about that photoshop did to me. I used an effect to make it on top of a cut out from a national geographic magazine...which i use for all my water effects...=.= you know! one of these days i actually am gonna draw the bg myself and then youll have to bite your tongue so hahhaa! little miss, i-don't-beleive-you-did-that....
and uh yeah i guess i do use perspection a lot...it's good preactice! but i think you're right about his face...it's funny. But I like the mouth...i finally got that grin of his down i think. but the nose is off i think...and yes, he is about to go kick some serious ass. mwaha!
woot
