that's amazing!!!

very inspiring!!

i love the radial theme, and there's lots of motion in it

EDIT: the only complaint i have is her Right elbow is ridiculous. other than that it's mind blowing !! :eek: and i just noticed how far her cape drapes off into the distance. awesome!!

U beautifully rendered metal, I’m little confused about her wail, what kind of material is it made of? Overall, it’s a great painting. Great metal, love it! it

Thanks guys !
unitstudio (http://www.cgtalk.com/member.php?u=80411) : It usually starts with paper . Its much easier to work out ideas and let yourself go on paper. After that its usually a color wash , blocking out forms and shapes / moving on to smaller size brushes . After that its pretty much CTRL C CTRL V in terms of techniq , same steps with smaller brushes.

For the drapery I wanted a solid stylish feel , with chunks of color definind the structure.

Brilliant, beautiful and very memorable. I love the 'metal earth wings', they seem to alternate from the softness of actual feathers to the harsh serrated edge of some wicket knife and back again.

Only crit / comment would be the rose seems slightly out of place. (intentional?) Almost as if she's holding it as an afterthought.

great composition and technics as well!

i like the colours and the biomechanic atmosphere...

Looks very nice i agree with what everyone else said about it color composition etc. My only crit besides the elbow that was already metioned above. It doesnt look like she is actually holding the items in her hand i might see it with the rose maybee she is leting it fall but the mace looking thingy doesnt really looks like it. The thumb is too far away to close the hand. In other aspects it looks great.

Hi,
You have nice style and this looks great work. The only thing i can crit is complication of composition. I couldn't seperate and understand where backround starts from. Almost all the elements in the picture have same level of colour and brightnes.
Anyway, it's wonderful

thanks

The floor in which she walks feels a little rushed, as if you're in a hurry to complete this wonderful piece.

Feel the concept is very rich. That alone is enough to make this piece great.
Technique is incredible and the whole piece flows really well.
Again, the concept: from her wings, the rose she holds and the weapon of choice... marvelous

Excellent. It is a very dramatic tableau piece. The palette works well with the theme.
The character is like an industrialized archangel.

This painting has really nice color choices. At first glance, the cape looked as if it was diamond shaped. Upon further inspection, I found that it was a reflection. That being said, I was dissapointed at her height, withough the reflection she would seem very short. Other than those comments, everything is great, especially those background details. :thumbsup:

This remind anyone else of art of the Diablo series? ;)

Extraordinary painting, colors, feel of metal and shading is superior. one small complaint though, her legs seem to be short, she could use longer stronger warrior legs and pose.
other then great work my +MyFavs, give 4stars.
