The Cold World: Altair

Altair wearing Isaac's jacket. He's another OC in my project, RAIN. (Actually, I haven't done anything for it in such a long time.)
I converted a line-art into this mess; the jacket alone took 5 hours. The hair, 2-3, the bg 1 hr, and everything else the rest of the time. The original was huge; I had to piece it together with 16 screenshots. (sai, please? ( T_T ))
I had a really hard time deciding the color of his eyes, because his design isn't really finished yet, (technically, every physical aspect EXCEPT for the eyes; I mean, there's so many different colors! How am I supposed to pick? ) I have some ideas, though; I want them to be either grey, red, or pink. The aquas, royal blues and blacks go to Isaac. :3
I loved the idea for the bg, it's inspired by a pic I saw on dA, (I think it's in my favs) I thought it was such a lonely and peaceful place, that I wanted to go visit. ( maybe live there?) The sheer awesomeness was not captured in this pic, though.
This took incredibly long. (10hrs on sai?) If you love me please buy me a verision so I can study for finals. jk



SAI 10hrs

[EDIT] is it me or do all my thumbnails look terrible?

Done while listening to "Mad World: by Gary Jules [link]
Now that I think of it, Isn't my title terribly creative?
