That looks really good.

I do think that many of the lines on the inside of his(I think its a guy...but again I dont know these japanese styles) hair forces the eye away from the face a little too much. (I'm guessing the foreground face is the focus of the picture) Without those lines making your eyes want to look down, the picture would form a really nice circular path for your eyes. (Damn...sorry...art classes are rubbing off on me, lol)

Some of the inking looks a little funny in like..2 places but thats really minor. REALLY minor. On the chin. Actually just the chin. When I look back at the other part I saw as looking funny it was fine. Wierd.

I like the look of the eyes and jewels, all the shines look nice. And the guys helmet/tattoo has a tight design on it. I like the backround effect, its fairly simple but it works out nicely.

Whens this game coming out? You have some mad skill at game design and I'm waiting on this thing now.

Also, I'm lazy as hell, whats Solace mean?

Give it up to MS paint, foos! Adobe photo shop only did the pixelating effect, I bet. Am I right? Go on... Say it... >= D
Very cool...

PS: Setu... Better get it done before hurricane Ivan... o.o;

..yeah,it's purely mouse-drawn from MSPaint,nothing else.As for the effects,its Adobe. Solace?..i dunno too Big grin

..but i think i has something to do on the word opposite of the word chaos,hence the title Solace of Chaos.

Hmm... Mouse drawn, eh? That takes a lot of skill. A skill I lack as of now. It's great that you don't seem to be limitted by the mouse at all. But if you don't have a Graphics tablet, you should surely think about getting one. ooo, they are nice. Razz

Mouse drawn? Nice.

I wonder about the little black part on his chin then, it looked like smudged ink that was covered up, to me.

And how're you using Solace if you don't know what it means? Imna look that shit up right now.

It means any of these:
noun: comfort in disappointment or misery
noun: the comfort you feel when consoled in times of disappointment
noun: the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction
verb: give moral or emotional strength to

I guess that works in your title then, so you lucked out.

"Solace" means comfort or tranquility. It's a good title and I'm surprised it was unintentional.
