[Soul-Blade]

Thank you for the comments. I agree with most of what you all said - I did get lazy on the background. That can be seen by the fact that I DID use stars...I was too lazy to do a nice cloud background. But regardless, I feel my conceptual aspect did get the point across.

Yes, he is falling. You cannot see the shadows well because of the fog, but look closely and it will make more sense.

I think I might scan my ink printed version and show it. I made a few modifications and a printed version always looks nicer.

Also, I DID NOT use photoshop for this. I used Painter. And give me a break - using the filters? I haven't used filters in 4 years, aside from the occasional light rays in photoshop. Who would think of using filters?
