Really wonderful work pain

pain, you have already won this challenge ;) your work - may card looks awesome too

wow. Absolutely beautiful.  :]

no real reference you say??  why do you feel the need to lie to us?  i thought you were talented but now I just think you're a cheat. 

Yes, come on Pain, don't let yourself down. You know you have to post a reference if you've used one. Please make sure you put that link in the description...
This goes for any of your other pieces that you've used references for too.

awesome! I'll have to have a good close look at this one!

thanks 4 comments :D ... dogmeat : no real reference ... just looked at some pictures from winter hollidays ...

Nice one :D

very photorealistic. This is the best entry i've seen so far.

Incredible. Further Proof that you don't need a million colors to make something photorealistic, all you need is a keen understanding of what pixels are important. viva la pixelart!

I hope he did, makes us look silly.
