Onward, Always

"I'd rather die by the strength of my convictions than live in doubt. Every path I took, every choice I made had a purpose beyond good and evil. No matter what I've done, it was right for me. In the end, I will be where I need to be."

"An idea can change you. Drown you until you're destroying everything in your way so that you might breathe again. I forfeit my life, Hirek, because of a belief. I breathe now on borrowed time and every second I have is stolen."

"You breathe because I permit it, Lee. If I didn't think you were deserving, I'd end the charade myself."

"...No. Not every string is yours to pull."

Lee: BOOP BEEP BOOP
Hirek: STFU
Lee: NO.

**Edit 5/28/11:CRITIQUE! Never opened one up for critiquing before, but I'd like to focus on this style of line art and learn how to color in a way that best compliments it. If anyone has tips or tutorials that might work for this line set, please let me know. I'm struggling with shadows and highlights in armor and skin. I also am trying to find the patience needed to clean up all the lines. I've been told SAI is great for line art, but I've yet to really accomplish a clean piece.

Several hours over several days resulted in this amalgamation, a combination of two different versions that I couldn't decide between. And rest assured, there are -plenty- more lurking on my hard drive now. I currently have about 20+ versions of this bastard. Why? I'm indecisive and inexperienced. It's also Photoshop Elements, so I feel like I'm [INSERT CLEVER ANALOGY HERE ABOUT INADEQUATE SOFTWARE].

This is also the result of having the TRON: Legacy soundtrack on a 24/7 loops. And also "Seperate Ways" by Journey. Yeeeeahuh. Classics be bitchin'.

This is also supposed to be MY LAST major piece for a while as I finally sit down and write what I had planned on months ago.
