I probably could have gotten the background a lot better had I been willing to put a few more hours into it... But I got frustrated really quick. I need to see if I can't find some brushes if I'm going to do rock again O.o That took far longer than it looks.
But I actually put a background that wasn't only swirly things! ... Not much past swirlies, but better. >.>
His face bothers me, though a lot of that is because I switched which character this was halfway through drawing this. Since I only created this storyline a little bit ago, Jan didn't even exist when I started this picture. Ikia wouldn't go for long hair anyway. >.>
The title is technically the kid's name. For a long time Jan wouldn't tell anyone his name, and they just called him sacrifice trying to goad him into giving them an alternate name, since that's what he was seemingly brought into their world as (They didn't want to name him, kind of like getting a cat that you aren't planning on keeping so just calling it Kitty, and five years later Kitty is still there).
Knowing the story this picture is a little more sinister than it looks, but I haven't really developed that yet so won't bother typing it up. Basically, Jan steals souls/essences and turns them into butterflies.
Critiques =

. I know I definitely need to change something but can't put my finger on it.

I know I normally give you a critique on your line art, but to tell you the truth, this time I didn't feel you needed it -- I couldn't find anything to nit about.

Seeing it coloured, I do notice one thing, but it could be a style thing: his neck seems a little thick compared to his build, but other than that, I can't see any fault.
Wonderful job!
