\o/ Thanks TropicalSnowcone and Shampoop..

Also thanks to the mods for deciding to leave it in the challenge afterall.

I think it is well executed and I'm gonna give it a vote!

I think you make a valid point and this should be accepted for the weekly challenge.

OK, I wont be sad if it is disqualified.

But in passive defense; the darkened face, glowing eyes & straw hat wearing- type of wizard has now become somewhat archetypal. Just like the white bearded wizard since Lord of the Rings (or Merlin?) has become. It is also not really a direct depiction of Orco nor any of the FF characters. Here are some pics of Black mages from Final Fantasy:finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Mage_%28Final_Fantasy%29  i.imgur.com/TsAnV.jpg and a pic of Orco from He-Man:i.imgur.com/FRRMa.jpg

"Based on the genericized wizard to the semblance of Orco from He-Man or from the generic black mages of Final Fantasy..."

Rules call for original character so this will need Staff review and may be disqualified, k.

Thank you Mike

Surpised that this is the first of this kind posted. Godo job! I love the way you textured the hat.

Thank you TheoVision

Very nice, especially like the textures on the hat and cloak!
