Riis, Lost In His Thoughts, Pierre Droal (2D)

[Garma]

very nice. the almost stone-like texture works great. I love the style and originality!

[joelfurtado]

amazing details in the texture. I love your paint style, and how the textured background compliments the textures on the character. The lighting is fantastic, and makes your character very beleivable, great work.

[giza]

Really well done work. I like the idea, the details and the colors. You have a good hand in digital drawing.

[Ehecatzin]

You made an axellent work here, specially with the expresion of the chaacter....mmmh your story is mesoamerican inspired? because your character reminds me of the Fish-men from Mayan mithology, also...Sun's destroying the world..it seem mesoamerican to me ^^

Anyway, I think you've done very well. kepp in the good work

Stunning Creation. The detail & design are fantastic, as well as the light and pose. Bravo!

[andreasrocha]

The character is great, but I don't think the background works well, specially the upper left.

[Arctis]

Thanks for your reactions !!!
- Andreasrocha : I see what you mean about left side of the background, but I'm OK with the right side. So I will improve that part of the picture, by softening the texture.

Later !!!

[jody]

good painting!:thumbsup:

[Luke Mrozek]

Splendid char. design and your skills are very good too...his saurian haritage shows very clearly.

[Arctis]

Hi,
Here's a new version in blue. I think it's better than the first one, which was too flashy. I've softened the background, too disturbing.
I hope someone will see it...

[criminal]

nice work mann!

[malcolmvexxed]

Great work i love the consistent rendering in your pic. the updated Moses story sounds interesting too.

[Glasko]

I find this character stunning. Really, it's on the front page of CGTalk right now and I find my eyes going back to it everytime I come to it. The facial expression and description you gave really inspires me... I see this altruistic, selfless and wise character that I just instantly love. This is up with my favorite works of all time, I would instantly put it next to "Girl and Monster" on the front of Expose'. I'll continue to check this out, beautiful job!

[Arctis]

Wow!
Thanks a lot for your reactions !!!:scream:
I'm really happy that some people come and see my update.
Also thanks very much for showing it on the frontpage, it's boosting my views'number ! No work of mine have been watched so many times...
I'll have a good night...:wise:

Arctis.

This is really nice, but could be even better if the ( hat ? ) thing on his head had highlights the side facing the light.
To be honest, right now the thing on his head looks very much like a wool cap ( like a robber would wear over his head.)
It would really make the image 'top notch' if it were fixed.
The painting style is superb ! :thumbsup:

[tlggungor]

:thumbsup: very good lighting and texturing I lıke ıt :thumbsup:


:bounce: WOULD YOU LİKE TO SEE MY 2D CHALLENGE CONCEPTS AND CHARACTERS :buttrock:

[Ollarin]

Damn! Great piece, awesome lighting and very orginal.

Awesome work man! :thumbsup:

[createi]

what a confusing art :banghead:

[Gord-MacDonald]

this guy looks like a real renaissance man. wonderful texturing and lighting.

[DavisPoon]

awesome work! From the concept to the art work.

[Tranchefeux]

Hello,
Very sympathetic your painting not of criticism
right my congratulation.

[shadi]

Nice work :twisted:

[andreasrocha]

much, much better

Congrats!

[illogiCG]

this work is awesome, nice textures & lightning, but the thing i prefer is the eye's expression...it's really intense

[PCollier]

Thats pretty dam cool.

But would people really follow or be lead by a man who is unconfident in himself? hmm anyway great work!

[stunner]

wow, very good work, very original and inspire ! :thumbsup:

[Antilles]

is your short story available to read? You could make an illustrated short story, filled with these types of paintings, it sounds like an interesting idea.

[dmg3d]

Excellent work. I thought the trailer was nice too. Can't wait to see it on the big screen!

-Dave :thumbsup:

[Larsen]

Really fine work, i love the style and the complex texture you made to him, keep it up and i hope we'll have the chance to see your short ! :thumbsup:

[sliving]

i like it so much!
great work!

[Arctis]

Thanx for your reactions, everybody !!!
-Vegan : the hat, it's his hair ! The texture of african hair is close too wool, as you said, so it doesn't catch much light...
- Gordonm : thanx, man : Renaissance painters have great influence on me, because I truly admire them. Vive Titien et Rembrandt ! :scream:
- Andreasrocha : It shows that your remark was totally right ! Thanks. :D
- PCcollier : it depends on the story, but it's possible. In the past, people followed tyrans, psychopats or crooks...
- Antilles&Cypher : I'm reworking on my short story, and I prepare a book mixing pictures like this one and text... Hope it will be edited one day...
-dmg3d : thanx ; for the movie, it would be a pleasure to make it, if I had 100 millions dollars... :D

I'm preparing other picts. Later !!!

[AlyFell]

Lovely piece! There are some great textures going on here, almost rock like. For some reason it reminds me of Enki Bilal, of whom I'm a massive fan. Good work!

[Mikier]

Awesome...I like the dried desert look to his face....

[Arctis]

Thanks a lot for your reactions !
I'm finishing a tutorial about this image, in case of some people are interested.
Later !

[littlepai]

Wow~I'm sooo impressed!! I can't believe that this is all digital!!! I couldn't find a trace that could tell the pic is drawn with the computer!! Could you tell us how did you do that? I really wanna learn how to make CGs look like real paintings! Two Thumbs Way UP!!!

[Jamilla]

I think your characters are wonderful as they are indepthly beautiful - not conventionally beautiful. They are how life should be - different.

Majestically humble!
