Raphael's Ending Soul Calibur II Art

I did this while I was at my grandparents house. It's one I'm really proud of. It's the most realistic art I've ever done. Don't give me crap, I know. How is a sword made out of flesh realistic? I don't know, or care. Soul Edge was really hard to draw. Actually, I had the most trouble with the stairs. I know, sword of flesh v.s. stairs. Stairs should be easier. I'm just bad at backgrounds. I had to try, like, 5 times before I got it right. This is the original art that I based my piece on:

This is from the game, Soul Calibur II . I got it from the Soul Calibur Wiki. This is the link to the picture.

I started working on this at around 6:30 one night and finished at 10:30. I wouldn't have been able to do this at home. I don't get the computer for hours at a time. Yeah. If there are any Soul Calibur characters you would like me to draw, leave a comment.

Thank You To:

Grandma and Grandpa. You guys let me have the computer for a long time! Thanks for no set bedtime and fuel of ice cream and Twinkie's.

April and D'nae. Thanks for listening to my constant Soul Calibur rants. I'm sorry I drove you insane with the Raphael talk, April . Your sarcasm was much appreciated D'nae. (Why did you think this art was a drawing of a ninja, D'nae?!?) FYI you two, I'm not obsessed with SC anymore. Still love it, can stop talking about it. You guys rock!

Mom and Dad. Thanks for your support! I can draw things not SC now. I was venting. Maximum Ride next!

Older and Younger Things. Older Thing, thank you for teaching me the pure awesomeness of SC! Younger Thing, thanks for listening to me talk about SC, playing it with me (even though you lose 99% of the time!), and looking at my art before everyone else. And Older Thing, you brutally destroyed me at SC. (With my favorite character too! Guess I'm not as good at Raphael as I thought.) Thanks for slapping some sense into me!
