"So much for seeking power, you little brat".
At least, that was what they said, by then. He probably knew that it wouldn't end that way. Not just like that, without a fight. He didn't speak a single word after the day he was captured. Although silent, his eyes would never avert from the sky above. As if he was willing to say: one day I'll be out of here. I'll break out of this chains and move the sky again.

Yeah, this was an insane amount of work. The first time I did a real digital painting again, after 2 long years, and I've learned quite a lot along the process. Like to stop being afraid of making mistakes and merging everything in one layer, to speed up the process (and that was really needed. Even though my computer is pretty fast it took me over 3GB of ram to work on this thing). But I'm glad to say my work gets more and more like how it is in my head.

That... and too many Yuki Kajiura soundtracks: [link] [link] [link] [link]

For a lack of a better word, i will say this, your work is amazing. I love how you fine tuned the details of the suit and the jail cuffs and weights to add a sci fi feel to the art, and i love how you even added the finer details to the suit such as the hexagonal patterns visible on the suit. I love the vivid luminance given from the small round orbs on the human, adding a sort of fantasy and mysterious, magical feel to the painting. I also love the magical circle added on the top holding his hands together, making the viewer wonder about the structure of the world outside the cell. The soft lighting from the window of the jail cell (i assume) makes it all the more dark on one side, yet mysterious on the other side which adds a sense of balance between the emotions the viewer feels. The only thing i have to say that could be improved on this is that the curves on the suit be made more smaller, since by looking at it by far, i thought the character portrayed was a female... but after enlarging the picture, i can tell that it looks more like a male. I am not really sure why it looked like a female from far away on the face, but i was mistaken by the collars of the tight suit to be the continuation of the hair, but when i looked closer, it looks more like a male now, so i dont really have any other things to say other than you could improve the shading of the different colors to make it the painting 'flow' more

You have captured perfectly the harmony between fantasy and darkness. I think the mixture between the blue and the black form a perfect painting and, of course, I like a lot the black circle in the wall. I have seen that you painted two kind of buttons? Well, it looks really beautiful and brilliant. I have never seen something like this before and I really want you to continue making this, and if you can teach all of us how to do it, I think we all will be enthusiasted. That's all I have to say. Thank you very much. Awesome.
