dks Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Your rendition has much higher contrast (with those deep, near-black shadows), and I like the icy/rocky base that you added. The high contrast is working well for you; if you have time, I would suggest smoothing out a few transitions that look rather abrupt, especially the right biceps and the upper-middle of the cloak, right under the hood. When I painted mine, I think I had just finished rereading one of the Fritz Leiber collections, so I wanted to paint a figure that looked like Fafhrd. Well done!

Krztoff Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well done. It really has a cold look to it, and I love any paintjob that I instantly connect with something, whether its a climate, season, or emotion. Maybe its the way the ground looks, but I can't help but think dusk in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Glenwell Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thanks guys! I am still working on getting my transitions smoother. Using a lot of washes and glazes to smooth the highlights out. Hey Krztoff! We should get together sometime! I'm just up north here in Coon Rapids! Burnsville ain't that far! Working on a set of War Maidens of Ritterlich. Soon as I get them done I'll post them! Thanks again for the critiquing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wizard Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think you've got outstanding brush control. Everything else will develop nicely. Keep painting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the things that I have worked on is brush control. Now I'm trying to smooth out my transitions better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
