Happy Belated Birthday, =Xaliandrea

This is Delfaust, a character that has not yet been introduced in
Remnants of Ashenfeld---our epic graphic-novel-in-the-works: [link]
This isn't his official reference sheet. It's more like an in-depth character
profile. If I did this for every character, I would most certainly die, lol.

So... Delfaust is a badass, essentially. One of few who's been in captivity
and lived to tell the tale. As a rule, he is very distrustful and tends to
keep things to himself---especially when it comes to his emotions.
With a sketchy past and generally unapproachable personality,
who could resist him? He's the bad boy all girls secretly admire.
And with those good looks, it's no wonder he's Bachelor Lord.

My God, you don't want to know how many hours I put into this guy.
It's quite possibly the best horse I've ever illustrated in Photoshop... ever.
I'm really proud of that shading job, which was relatively easy now
that I think about it. I should make a tutorial one of these days, lol.

Lots of work filled with lots of love for a friend who's lots of fun. XD
Love you, Xali! He's a brilliant character from an equally brilliant mind.
