Graphics Gale. Naturally, you have to manually shade it. However, I recommend GraphicsGale because you can get the exact colors you want. Google it and download the free version.
Hard to believe it's your first. :D Very great work with the hair, and the intricate shading of the scenery is great. The shading is great, but I believe the figure can improve. Your main character looks like he has a dislocated arm. If you make the forearm a bit bigger and use some shading, it could look more like a slash.
Me too. :D Your work is very good, though. The tree that you drew in the topic which you were asking what that Pixel Sig was worth was very detailic. What I like most about misterxman is how he draws his trophies and how he displays the items. ;) Great work!
