The original illustration, is poor. But the shading is great, I can't wait to see some of your stuff when you get a scanner, hopefully you'll have a better hand with a pencil than the artist who created the base illustration.
My one piece of advice here though, is think realistically, for example the necklace, it's not a sturdy object, it's either a leather string or a chain, therefore, the pendant would not be hovering from his chest, this can be easily remedied by making the shadow of the necklace touch the necklace at every single point.
As for Pure_Fusion, again you proove to be the thickest user of this forum, who doesn't even understand how light works. Just to inform you, if something is brighter, it means light is shining on it, therefore, the light is coming from the right at all times in this picture, as the left is always the brighter shide with the shading done on the right.
And as for ipixel being moderator, stop brown nosing. ipixel doesn't make friends with retards like you who suck his dick all night long, i abuse him often and get along with him just fine, so if you want to get some respect out of him, don't just eat his ass, get some brains for starters and just act normal with him. But yeah, you clearly know nothing about ipixel if you think he should be moderator, I mean last time he was given powers, he and atomicide just banned every single person with power on the forum. So it wouldn't quite be the smart move to give him power yeah?
But yeah, nice work fallen angel.
