Icarus' Charm of the Undead

OH GODS, I'M FINALLY DONE!
Geez, that took forever. Yes, I know the hands are messed. Add hands to the list of stuff I can't draw x_X

Anyway, the charm of the undead is from Maplestory. ( (c) nexon corp.) This is sort of a joke on how random I can be. In LA I made a paper charm of the undead and stuck it on my forehead, and I couldn't stop blowing air toward it and making it float up and down.

I really like some of the fine touches on this picture. The cracks in the cement, for example. I got that cement-y texture by adding a noise filter, and it looks really nice. Focus on the hair, as that took me about an hour alone .

Credit goes to for her cherry blossom tutorial, for his blood brushes (Used here for the puddles on the sidewalk), for his cracks brushes, and for his cloud brushes (Which you can hardly see in this picture, but I used them anyway.)

By the by, that's my OC, Icarus Amatsu.
