He's Valkyrie's loyal warrior, chosen by her. Also known as Krino or Sandora in the original Valkyrie no Densetsu. It took a lot to do the gold parts x_X and in the end, it came out kinda big.

I love the gold armor !

Kigurou Sonkei (Level 1 Depressed) @ 6/3/2008 13:49

Gold's actually pretty light, compared to others - but you're right about it being too soft.

Onto the piece. :P I like it - A ALOT. 5/5 from me :P The shine on the armour's amazing. :D

Teenage mutant ninja turtles: Raphael!
Great pose and the gold looks amazing!

Pabloavvocato (Level 1 Depressed) @ 11/26/2007 19:35

Wouldnt a full set of gold armour weigh hundreds of pounds and be too soft to protect?
but enough of my nitpicking. i must say it is a brilliant peice.
5/5

Hehehe nice!!
And i have to agree with snader, it do like a Kawabanga! XD

hawken (Level 2 Peon) @ 3/12/2006 08:01

very nice

the character also has two game of it's own, although never released outside of Japan and in a male form. One I spotted in a Japanese arcade and uses very old cabinet tech, looks like a nes game. The other is called "Xandra big adventure" (according to superplay, although spelt sa-n-do-ra in Japanese I'm going for "sandra". Not a very heroic name in English) and is for the Snes.

The character ran as a bit of a Namco (namcot in those days) mascot, and I bet he/she appears in quite a few games.

here's my *min* copy of the game, -must be worth a bomb to the right ebayer.

Ghost (Level 1 Seaman) @ 1/19/2006 15:10

awsome. I like how his helmet covers part of his eyes

Psiweapon (Level 4 Gas Giant) @ 1/9/2006 13:34

Awesome execution, but looks like Frog from Chrono Trigger got turned into a Knight of the Zodiac.

PixelSnader (Level 2 Peon) @ 11/10/2005 09:03

looks like.. KOWABUNGA!

PixelPusher (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 11/4/2005 23:57

I don't care much for the character, but the gold looks...wow. The pose is also dynamic, but a bit out-of-perspective in places, like his left leg. Still an excellent piece. Favorited.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets Norse mythology? In any case, sweet colours and shine! Love the action pose

pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 11/4/2005 13:24

Just realized I said exactly what Sedge said.. must've crept into my subconscious while I was typing.

sedgemonkey (Level 11 Coelacanth) @ 11/4/2005 12:26

Excellent work on the metal. Love the action pose.

purple_monkey (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 11/4/2005 12:00

very neeto :) Real good job on the anti-aliasing.

The B.O.B. (Level 11 Master Assassin) @ 11/4/2005 11:55

Very, very good. You seriously could be a professional pixel artist for some game company, other wise your talent would be a waste. Very cool, and chea, the gold is very kick arse. I just want to know if you do any other characters of your own. I would really like to see what you could come up with. Good job, overall...

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 11/4/2005 11:43

Daaaamn. That gold looks amazing! Top-notch work!

TheChaindog (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 11/4/2005 11:33

The only thing that shines more than the gold is you, wolfie. Really awesome work!

manxana (Level 3 Stalker) @ 11/4/2005 10:59
