Glades Of Death, Rick Sardinha (2D)

[breathing]

that is great!!!i love the birds over the sunlight.....it make the whole pic alive!!!the color looks like sonme kind of watercolor.....

[nofxsapunk]

awsome work man. i love this style great lighting.

[Art2]

excellent piece! Love the birds, leaves and light.
Design of the knight are also top, because they are just plain and simple.
No fantasy armour etc.
I'm a bit puzzled by the monster's tail though. Where does it go?

[giza]

Classical but original style. Great study of colors and lights, a really good work.

[MoonVisionStudio]

Very nice painting!

I would like the see the monster emerging from a darker shadow. I think it would look more interesting, right now the whole painting looks too placid to have a monster in it. But that is just my personal preference.

Awesome technique.

Jose

[pierrebixquert]

[Opeth]

Excellent work.
Hard to understand how come you haven't been selected for the first page.
Great lighting and asmosphere as well as motion.

[Sardinha]

thanks all for viewing.

art2..........the monsters tail actually loops behind the left pillar ruin and up. that is what the guy on the left is looking at as it beginning to move through the leaves up where he is.


jose...........placid is the point!!...danger lurks everywhere even the 'safest' of places : )

cheers mates

Very nice piece!

Excelent light, shading, and overall "feel" to the painting.

I like how you kept the mood throughout the enviroment.
mad props dude.

[k4k]

Xcellent! :thumbsup:

[georgebrayner]

Great work! Amazing colors!

[robertkist]

I love the style. Colour scheme reminds me of the graphics in the magnetic scrolls games. nicely done :)

[r3mix]

I really like the sense of danger and adventure in this image. Nice work! :)

[celmar]

a very very fine picture!... You have a real good sense of drawing on the characters, and the lighting, enhanced by the birds, is perfect!... oh, and it's not a critic, but I suppose I would love the same picture, without the monster, too... bravo!...

[paintbox]

I hardly reply to plugged work, but for this I make an exception, because I find the way of painting exceptional. Especially the texture of the work is awesome, crisp at places and blurred at others, which makes it overall,appealing for the eye. Your use of light in service of the composition, allthough not unique, is great too. A very good executed work ! :thumbsup:

[ZeroNeuro]

There be monsters here!

Heh, there is a new RPG game? :o I need to keep in touch with the real world I guess.

Nice work. I love the atmosphere. Good work.

Edit: Hey Richard, I am a fan of your work and am glad to see you joining the CG Talk community. Come join us on irc #cgtalk sometime. irc.freenode.net :)

[rawgon]

great value and hue
very atmosperic painting
interesting subject:thumbsup:

[JDex]

Ah... a well deserved plug.

Congrats mate.

I really love the contrast of terror in a calm setting you achieved here. Is this a new piece Rick?

Your currently crippled neighbor,

Jason

[ambas]

Very nice picture! Excellent!! :thumbsup:

[deathblood]

Great work....
Excellent paiting..http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

[Tilstrom]

Fantastic work, the detail is incredible. :)

[tfwoods3]

Awesome, it makes you want to find out what happens next.

[goldenarm]

Great piece! The composition, concept and technique are excellent. The only crit I would have is the rendering of the creature. It doesn't seem grounded into the picture as well as some of the other elements. It's hard for me to tell if it's leaning against the embankment, or just coiled up like a snake? Hope that makes sense? Keep up the great work!

[Rascal-VFX]

Nice artistic look, great work.

[Haiasi]

Beautiful atmosphere and lighting, I especially like the sneakery of the creature, and how it's poised to strike! My little nit-pick would be the wizard's hood, it looks rather thick. It's a minor detail, but I just look at things like that.

Nicely done!

[olijosman]

great painting, atmosphere, design and technique:thumbsup:

[Supervlieg]

Nice job! I like the mood in this pic

[APD-Jack]

Very nice work:applause:
Your style gives a pleasure to look. I don't agree crits about brigthness of the creature. It looks very realistic. The knights and the birds are match with the rest.
And i like the blurness of your style.
Congratulations
Keep good work.

[Wonderer]

nice colors and atmosphere... :thumbsup:

[Kodos]

Great painting style. Reminds me of N.C. Wyeth.
Nice work!

[swarding]

I like how some areas seem almost impressionistic. Overall there is still a great amount of detail of course, but it seems that some areas are chosen above others for the specifics. Unique style, I really like it.

[billy_john_bob_jim]

looks good dude the only thign that irks me is if you are tryign to make the focus the guys in the background you should make the bg darker, or the chars darker because as of righ tnow the dude on the left, his head is almost eh same color, and the guy in the middle his rodes are damn near the same, throw in a dark sploth or somthign to brign out a littel contrast in the pice. other then that it looks great -M

[grandma]

Very nice picture! :bounce:

[Enayla]

Glorious!

The textures and the colours really brings the mood and the feel of this together. Absolutely stunning: would love having this on my wall.

[VenomZER0]

superb. I can't find anything to fault with this (by my amateurish eyes of course)

I will be doing something like this in my course too - i hope what i do turns out as good as this :)

Could easily be a totally stand-alone piece.

[YANGZHENGDONG]

I Like It Very Much

[Mindgem]

Very nice, very Vallejo.

[ditchman]

lighting is great, nice story telling and a cool monster (looks a bit like a flea!)

[Tom Johnson]

great shot, I was just back in Philidelphia and got to see a ton of N.C Wyeth's art work this is a great study and lighting . try throwing a dark shadow in the foreground it will call the first read of the image to the knights and then looming in the dark with glints of light from your streaming sunlight would be the creature, you will also find it will pull the foreground forward and give more punch and depth to the image. doing lighting studies of your composition sketch will help in finding out different ways to go.

[silvery]

THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF WORK !! .. nicely worked out! .. well i'll a newbie in design so i do not know how to comment on this work .. but i'll like to say " 100% " to this ART!

Anyway may i enquire.. " do you guys draw the drawing and put it digital to paint or ? how do you all go about doing it ? "
Mind sharing ?

Thanks..

[janhath]

Very moody,surreal like.danger seems to be lurking,a very beautiful piece of work.Love to see this in a huge frame.:thumbsup:

[sam4grafix]

SCARY... really.. but the details r too good!! :thumbsup:

[redneckstudio]

Beautiful piece. It reminds me of N.C. and Andrew Wyeth and the other Brandywine artists.

[Fahrija]

From time to time I come back into the gallery to watch this image - I simply love it.

The atmosphere you´ve captured is outstanding.
