Well, I finished it. Hooray! (You can see the sketch and lines in my scraps, if'n you're interested.)

This is St George, glorious martyr and slayer of dragons. He is the patron of England, soldiers, the Boy Scouts, Portugal, cavalry, chivalry, farmers, and many many more. He is also one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (I just found this out today!), whose intercession was thought to be particularly effective against disease.

He's also my patron saint. :D And, yeah, I should probably be posting this on April 23, his feast day, but since I finally finished it I couldn't wait any longer!

Let's see, technical stuff:

Sketched on computer paper, cleaned up on parchment paper, then scanned and colored in Photoshop.

The clouds are from [link]

Parchment texture is from `Bleeding-Dragon's texture pack (how appropriate!).

The dragon in the bg is a drawing based off of a dragon [link] from =markopolio-stock.

I really like the shine on his armour for some reason, it has an almost celestial glow.

Very sexy. I love how you did the treatment of the armor; Great textures and reflection of light, so subtle and so effective. THe whole color palette in this is really quite harmonious and beautiful.
