This is a scene from Breath of Fire IV. Specifically, the scene where Kahn bursts forth from the sea in a wonderfully dramatic fashion. I thought it silly enough to want to capture it in MS Paint.

This took nearly three months to do. Not continuous work, and a good chunk was done over the last two-ish weeks. A lot of dealing with the aftermath of my relationship ending, and a few depressive spirals thrown in for good measure. I only had the energy to work on this here and there for a good while.

Cleaning up the clouds took a long time and I had to push myself to do it, because that felt more like busywork than any other part. Had trouble with the rainbow colours, too. Not what I’d hoped, but they work fine enough.

I left out the lens flares of the scene as it was more time I would’ve spent when I needed to move to the next thing.

Could be better, but I’m happy with the result.

I hope you enjoy.
