I don't know exactly how long I worked on this... I want to say more than ten hours, but I've been working on it for a few hours everyday for the past week or so and now I don't know what I'm going to do with my life. I'm certainly done with art for a while. This is Seraph when he first came into NightClan. Here's the reference: http://imageprocessor.websimages.com/width/352/crop/0,38,352x520/memberfiles.freewebs.com/44/96/77609644/photos/undefined/Seraph.png
Wow, this is amazing!! I love the colors you chose, the transition between cool and warm colors across his face makes the lighting startling, it's so cool.
You certainly have more patience than I do. If I ever attempted just sitting down for countless hours and trying to do that(I have, it's no fun) I'd go mental. But more power to you. The anatomy of course is perfect and I love all the coloring and shading, very nice touches.
