dks Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Fine work! Iron Painters definitely don't have time to get rusty. I like the dynamic superhero duel (including the angular blasts) and the elf/dolphin grouping -- very good to see your take on the female elf (and I'm happy that you chose her in the first place). While painting my Ghoul Queen last year -- and deciding not to put any glass into the ruined rose-window -- I filed away the idea of a scene with a cleric or paladin illuminated by sunlight shining through stained glass. Guess I don't have to do one now! Thanks for sharing the batch. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG88 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 very nice work, I especially like the dolphin rider, the seasonal change one is breathtaking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skya Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks guys. Derek, glad you like her. I really like the faces on the sea elves and they are so easily poseable to whatever fits the scene, they're great to work with. I fully intend to do the male with a dolphin as well, probably sometime in the next couple of months. I'm taking a bit of a break right now though so that Iron Painter doesnt totally burn me out.

Ironworker Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Beautiful work here. I like how you were able to achieve consistantly excellent results with highly origional interpertations of the subjects under time constraints that would make most contest painters cry. This looked like an interesting competition hopefully they will do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintminion Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It'll happen again, I'm sure, but it IS a major commitment for a number of months and rough on all of us IMMPS...rough on my ears mostly. Right Noel? :-P I'd love to see them limit it to a more manageable time frame, which means either limit the numbers for the first round, or needs to be more than two people up against each other. With my luck I'd get stuck in a group of the top scorers again. :-S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skya Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sorry bout your ears Sue, I try very hard not to swear that much any more. :P As for the competition, I think it went about one round to long. It would have been perfect at 5 rounds *if* it hadnt also been over the xmas/new years holiday time. And I guarantee you'll see it again. Iron Painter has been going for 4 seasons now and I cant see any reason for it not to keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
