The Battle of Bryyo Fire

EDIT Aug '11: Due to repeated Art Thefts, this pic now watermarked.

~~~~~~~~~~

Last minute entry for the 'Boss battles' Contest over at . Wanted to enter when I saw the theme at the start of the month, but totally forgot until a few days ago...

This whole pic has been a BITCH of a thing to draw, and is the very reason I hate doing digi-paint. Rundas vs. Samus on Bryyo is one of the boss fights I've always wanted to draw, and do a decent tribute too, hence doing the pic this way. I didn't feel that cel-shading would cut it. At the very least, I'm happy with how it looks now, so all the rage was worth it.

EDIT: And now I've just found out they extended the deadline by another week... All my effort to get this in on time was for NOTHING. RAGERAGERAGE

Time Taken: 25 hrs +
Photoshop & Wacom Tablet
Lots of spurring on from Flatmate............
And no, I will NOT do commissions in this style.
