(☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ Bigger resolutions here yo

Woo finally finished this! Shout out to the folks who replied to my Sandbox thread with suggestions, it really motivated me to get this over with after about 3 years of not working on it XD Started from the manga page and with the vector, which was the easiest part mainly because the fire was made with the Freeform Pen Tool, which kinda makes everything look like an orangutan scribbled it unless you mess with the settings and have a hand that doesn't shake from all the pressure you apply on the mouse.

More precisely, I was stuck at this point and had no idea what to do. The initial idea was to have him submerged in water in a cave, but 1) couldn't paint that to save my life and 2) couldn't find any good stock images to avoid painting, lol. So abstract it is! After vectoring and messing around with the fire, I added a texture.
It's inspired by Kamelot's March of Mephisto, btw.

I discovered painting decomposing/burnt skin is easy and fun. Now there's a sentence you don't hear every day! Also, his nail makes me cringe.
Blooper: me trying to paint fire 3 years ago (can't pretend I'm any better now lol)

Now that I've got all the darkness out of my system, it's time for something pink and happy, lol.
