A commission for Canezar, Nick, and Skyder for a friend of their's, Smotri! Very symbolic piece here. It was a challenge to render the lighting. This also shows a unique feature - the head is purely a render from ZBrush, lighting and all!! First time I've composited a 3D model directly into a 2D piece for a commission, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Last commission made in 2014, to boot!

Media: Photoshop CS6, ZBrush 4r6 for head
Time: ~11-12 hours
