Lightning Returns Contest Entry

A week ago I found out about the Lightning Returns contest on DeviantART. I went back and forth about entering it, mostly because I didn’t think I’d be able to hold my own in the contest. After the encouragement of my family and friends, I decided to enter the contest even if I don’t end up winning.
Here’s what my entry looks like…

You can see it on DeviantART here.

Due to the contest rules, I’m not allowed to sell prints of the art anywhere, but I wasn’t going to sell it anyway. (I’m paranoid about fan art legal issues so I decided not to sell any fan art sans very rare cases.) Still, enjoy the painting. I painted the picture in Gimp.

That’s all for now! I plan on making a post announcing if I won or lost after the winners are announced. And believe me when I say that if I won, I’d probably start to cry. Or jump up and down like crazy. Or both. 😛
