The base is a photo of Gackt, but I made a female out of him :p I've probably used close to 20 layers here, I lost count, lol. The background alone has 4. The armor is from a fantasy painting. A lot of cutting, flipping and rotaing was needed to get the patchwork together. Painted the whole thing and added textures. Included in the zip is a 64x100 jpeg for use in Leto and Mr_Dave's tutorial on how to add it. **Made the hand smaller as suggested by Gyr and Apricane**

I like this portrait - more work goes into a drawing that colours. This portrait has something that makes you look twice. For that you get a 10 - I would however broaded the shoulds or make the left hand smaller.

I can't believ how many fat, nerdy girls who'll never get a guy are mastrubating to this hermaphrodite. Yuck."
Let me guess, oh aptly-named one: a fraction of the number of dateless male losers who churn out portraits of bare-chested "female fighters" so they can pant their way through Faerun without ever having to confront the perils of talking to a real (gasp) woman? About that many.

OMG Gackt-sama!! *squeals like a damn fangirl* I always say Gackt-sama looks like an elf (especially in the Mizerable PV where he's wandering through a forest at one point). Very nice job.
It's nice to see people who get that elves are SUPPOSED to be androgynous bishounen (or bishoujo).

Demure ... androgynous ... I love it! Great artwork true to the style of the game. Bravo.

Makes a much better pretty boy elf than a girlie. I wll probably use it as a boy, myself.

Thank you Allista, appreciate it :) Yes I thought "elf" when I saw him, lol but I decided to make him a female just because my male elves tend to turn out very feminine looking :p"Light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak"

Oooh... I like this! He's quite the pretty thing, works for both male and female I'd say. I can't believe you conjured up this nice portrait out of that picture. Nothing against the picture *dodges the fanbois*, but he sure looks quite different now :) Elf ears suit him.
Lol Shuuichi :D I suspect you like Gackt :p
Btw, nice job with the wallpaper ;)"Light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak"

... Okay, I think I got the fanboyishness out of my system... for now. It took a while, though. x.X Much raving and the completion of a wallpaper using above pic... >.>;;
ANYWHO!! @_@ You know what's weird? I was sitting here the other day, looking at the portraits and coming across so many celebrities, half of which I think were Angelina Jolie, and I thought to myself 'Hey, I bet Gackt would make a good character. Maybe I should try to make a portrait.' Now I don't have to! =D
Creepy that you made him when right when I was wanting him, but hey... It's all good. Ouu, you should make Hyde into a halfling or something! >) (Or Kyo, from Dir en Grey... he's already short enough for one XD)
Anywho, I'm off to consider posting my new wallpaper on Deviant Art. *drools over picture again, then prances away all fanboyish once again*

OMG, wycked I love you~~ *_* Gackt-sama... as an elf... in my game... *faints* Oh, oh, oh *_* Sankyuu, sankyuu~ And forget female. I see no busty boobage, so male he be. He's pretty enough for a male elf, ne? *prances around, then stops* Uh... good work. *tries to sidestep away from his fanboishness, fails and trips over his feet* The link didn't work, though. T_T
