Abandon all hope?

See what I did there? Oh! I am so lame...
But I thought it fit on multiple levels.
...there has been a lot of hate and whatnot's over the new Danté. he's younger looking, rebellious and extremely pissed...then there's the hair.
But you know as long as he's still a pizza loving badass then I'm game.

Anyways I started playing with textures a bit mainly leather and cloth, and made a few custom brushes (including a smoke brush)
I can't paint metal to save my life it seems and I have no idea how long this took me to paint.

*Oh a few wanted to see a close up, which I don't normally like doing because it shows all my messiness [link] *
**It turns out that this pic has become more popular than I ever thought it would...so yay thanks ^__^ **

I appreciate useful feedback, since it helps me improve.
*Painter 11 - everything painted except the brickwall which is from here -> [link]
