Lord Nihil, ruler of Tawhoque and the Sunless Lands beneath the eastern coast of Sharteshane. Nihil is my answer to the sexy lich. A tragic figure, he is the discarded humanity of a mortal who became a god. I don't think he can eat potato chips without getting a lot of crumbs in his chest cavity but that's okay, because his bird is cool.

SUCH issues with the colour on this bitch. I switched from a CRT to an LCD monitor in the middle of it and Photoshop was not being kind to me when I went to convert it out for the web. This still isn't what I saw in Photoshop but that's my bad for working in Adobe RGB. I intentionally set out to challenge myself with the colour scheme here and losing so much of the subtlety like, makes me want to stab kittens. I promise the psd has better skin tones and ambiance.

Thanks to LadyFox for the title. She taught me a new word~

This is such a beautifully dark picture. Even if in the end you still want to stab kittens...I think it's amazing. ^_^
Great work!

thia is incrediable, horrifying and beautiful simutaionously, wonderful composition, and the creature in the back sends chills down my spine.

Wow. Just... wow.

Yeah, I know it's never exactly what you wanted, but your standards are so high that none of us could ever notice.
This is breathtakingly, well words fail me. Cruel, ominous, beautiful, and much more!

My...

It makes me wanna stab kittens too, but not for the same reasons >< This is amazing, as usual

I love the whole thing, but I must say I ADORE the blood fountain (or whatever it is hehe)

This is a scary place and yet I feel comfortable with it, I wouldn't mind going there (as a ruler, of course! :fuzzydemon: )

This piece is very interesting and detailed, but to me it doesn't look like he's sitting too comfortable.

This looks still nice for us who havn't seen the original psd file so I don't think you have to bother about that.

Overall great picture :)

Yeah, I wouldn't mind going there either, honestly. And it's not a fountain of blood though I knew everyone would think it was :) It's really just red, slightly luminescent water. RP thing. Glad you like it :D
