I FINISHED! I was supposed to finish this piece before school started (which was about a month ago), but I ran out of time... This piece took me easily over 15 hours, and it's sad because the pros can draw something in 1 hour that looks better than my entire piece.
However, I do see improvement in my digital art capabilities...I tried working more on the background and the foreground. I also attempted lighting. There was also a lot of detail involved in this piece, and I had to use a lot of refs (since I've never drawn angel wings or portals/mirrors before).
Of course, this piece is a fan art of Light Yagami from Death Note. If it's not obvious, Light is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. I know he's pretty messed up and all, but I think that constitutes wonderful character development. Whatever, haters can hate.
Anyhow, that's it...
I'm so tired that I'm going to sleep now. Too bad I have school tomorrow

Guess who the characters are in the back!

EDIT: Thanks to for all the amazing critiques along the way! LOVE YOU.
And I showed my art teacher this piece, and the first thing he said was "Is that Bieber?" LOL
Interesting, well done artwork. Something that could be like a background of "Kira's kingdom".
