That sword is amazing. This is my favorite way of shading and as I have said many times before I hope to reach this stage of art someday. Probably the nicest thing about this piece is how subtle the colors are even if they are considered bright colors. It reflects the whole meloncholy mood the pic is giving off and I think it's just great. I also like their clothes and the flower in her hair. Not sure why he is hugging someone while holding his weapon out but it looks cool so thats a bonus.
