I like the title: Gilgamesh... It fits him well. I kinda like the simple "shadowness" of it all- congrads on mods!

This is a great picture, one of the best I have seen on elfwood in a long time!!! His mask reminds me a little bit of the one Morpheus wears in the begining of Neil Gaimans Sandman comics. On a sidenote for people wondering who Gilgamesh was... He was a mythological babylonian hero. Killed a giant, pissed off Ishtar and searched for immortality, or something along those lines.
Anyways, great job and congrats on Mods Choice

:-) Ruben de Vela replies: "Hehe! Thanks! Well, about Morpheus' bone mask, it was based on the gas mask of the classic Sandman, so I guess the comparison makes perfect sense!"

WHOA. DA STYLE! I CAN'T HANDLE DA STYLE!

Trememdously uber cool, my talented friend, your viewers are much in awe. You should do stuff like this more, I have fallen easily in love with it. *gazes upon mad 5killz*

Love the simple colors. Is this done with a tablet? If so, man I need to get one.

Oh wow, too cool. Reminds of one of the most stylish Playstation games ever - GunGrave. Looks absolutely amazing.

Interesting look at Gilgamesh... I like it *thinks of how that might stand as a poster next to her bed* I like it more! ^___^
Mod`s choice on 200%

If you look at the upper torso in a different way,
I... think it looks like a huge duck
with a gun strapped to its beak.
But that's just me.

Great job.

This picture looks like it would fit into one of Frank Millers graphical novels. Good impact.
