elf warrior painted by roundeye

[wildsheepchase]

I saw this over at eatpoo awhile ago. It's awesome!:D

[frog]

Oh god, I hate fantasy art but you and Mr Roundeye get 5 stars for that fantastic rendering :)

[Werner]

Damn, this is awesome! Great work to the both of you! :buttrock:

[PokeChop]

Holy BAJEEPERS! That's awesome work! Yes, where are those 5 stars for this? Well deserving 5 stars...

[Kirt]

Yep ... I've seen this before too. However, it's always good to the eyes and soul to see it again. Wonderfully executed co-op piece and one of the finest looking illustrations I've seen in the fantasy genre. 5 stars is just not enough for this one.

Gotta love that sword! :buttrock:

[Teyon]

Okay, Itchi, I changed my mind...this IS a better pic than the original sketch of him was. The color just makes it all come together.:applause: :applause:

[fellah]

very nice image indeed! maybe some more depth wouldn't hurt.. only a tiny bit of gaussianBlur to the BG or some foreground element.

one for you :beer:

take care

[say-g]

thats wicky! all i can atm as my virtual jaw is still falling

[Sleepless]

I saw this at poo too, blown away again, roundeye is a coloring monster. BTW he did have a great a great pic to work with.

[yowchuan]

Wow...the details are incredible!

I especially like the flame on the sword.

Do you have any tips on how you did this?

[EAP!]

Incredible!

Sometimes when things are coloured i don't enjoy the image as much... but damn that is awsome.

-EAP!

[itchi]

thanks for all the responses. woohoo and i got stars! some mod must like me :p okay not me but roundeye's coloring ^^

wildsheepchase, kirt, and sleepless> thanks a ton guys, and yeah roundeye really hooked this pic up! blew my mind when i saw it even in the first (that red) phase. i still look at it and cry haha. he is the man!

frog> haha thanks man! wow thats a huge compliment! thanks for the reply :)

werner> hey how's things going man? good to hear from you again and thanks for the kudos!

fellah>yeah maybe a gausian blur would seperate the elements more and give it more depth. but some people dont like using filter FX. i think roundeye didnt have time to "finish it" as he says but i love it loose like this personally :) good point tho.

say-g> hahaha thats how i was when i first saw the colors :p

yowchuan>i wish i could color anywhere close to this. visit roundeyes site at eatpoo.com and maybe you can ask him there.

EAP> yeah i totally know what you mean and i totally agree.

thanks again for the replies and comment guys, and for the stars mister mods! :scream:

[METALKID]

cool work~hehe
but the style is quite different from ur Avatar
;) ;)

but i think he may not be an elf,call him hell soldier might be better,lol~ i love it too

[mushroomgod]

if i could give it 10 stars i would..... awesome!

[dark_lotus]

but the style is quite different from ur Avatar

um they're two different people. :) - The person who did it was roundeye.

BTW I should mention that you shouldn't post other peoples work - a link is fine, but I think its actually illegal to place his work here without his permission.

As for the artwork itself its absolutely stunning!

I love the sword more than anything. Background could do possibly with a bit more work though

:applause: :applause:

Great Stuff Roundeye!!

[bjotto]

itchi has done the line drawing. So it's also his work.

[gametech]

here i made a background blur, just to see for myself if i liked it better. but i think i prefer the original one.

I hope you don't mind that i post this, if you do i will kindly remove it.

[RavenX]

This is SO incredible. If a gave you a character concept I have, do you think you'd be able to do it for me? That would be my dream come true to have him profesionally drawn by someone like yourself. But you're a busy person, I'm sure, so would expect it from you, naturally. If you did, though, I'd owe you BIG.

[pabbloz]

Wow! :eek:
Excelent colouring! Great job to both of you! wow!
The fire is really well done!
I like the two versions... but if I have to choose one... maybe I would choose with blur... it's cool! :thumbsup: more than a 2D draw!

[HapZungLam]

ah, sweet man. how did you do that glow anyway? you blur it?

[misterboogie]

Wow!

The rendering on the sword and armor is incredible!

Personally I prefer the one with the blur.

Great job guys!!

5 stars!

[le_faya]

Ok I will say something really original : "incredible!!" :thumbsup:

I don't know if someone ask it to you before but....how many times do you need to colored it???

Really good work

PS:sorry for my horrible english

[o-phile]

That is hella sweet!

[j0hnb]

Is there anyway we would be able to get a poster of that??? I love your picture and and I would just love to see it on my wall.. Just checkin.. Nice work man.

[itchi]

man this place is crazy! it took me like 20 minutes before i could even get on the site haha. dang this place is popular!

metalkid> haha yeah and actually i didnt even draw my avatar. a friend of mine, jeff matsuda, who is a comic pro did it in a comicbook collab we did and i loved it som much i use it everywhere :p

mushroomgod> hehe so many funny/cool SNs here :p woohoo thanks man!

dLotus> haha yeah what bjotto said. sorry i should have clarified in my original post. also i have it linked off of my server so none of his bandwidth is being used. but i totally agree with you in principle.

bjotto> thanks for the assist bro!

gametech> wow that does look COOL! i dont mind but i'll let roundeye know and see what he think :p like i said i think he had more important things to do so he didnt quite finish it up the way he normally would if it were a paying job.

ravenX> i would normally but i am so swamped with work right now i dont even have time to draw for myself saddly. but maybe sometime in the future when freelance season slows down and i only have one job hehe.

pabbloZ> thanks you very much, sir. thats a great compliment. yeah i love the way the sword turned out too. roundeye is a crazy good painter.....

HZLam> errr you gonna have to ask roundeye, i suck at coloring :(

miyamoto>yupyup the textures are incedible i agree. really made it sing! thanks man!

le_faya> heh i think he colored it once but showed the inbetween step with the red. hope that was the answer to the question :p

o-phile> hehe thanks man!

johnb> i have a feeling roundeye prolly only has a low rez version of this since he was just painting it for fun. but i would love to get a poster too heh.

thanks for all the comments guys! i'm gonna email roundeye and tell him to get over here ^^.

[yellowworm]

wow.

your use of perspective is inspiring and the painting is simply phenomianl.

[illOgic]

[facial]

[cleptocat]

Wow! All the comments have been said. Good co-op work. Well there is one thing I have to say. I really like the way that even though its back lit you can still see the detailing on the front. It would be a shame to lose all that.

navel_lint> thanks for the compliment man! for the most part i try to do the pushed perspective thing a much as posible and especially in this case wondered if i went a bit too far. thanks for the nod!

illOgica,primus,seal-of-death> thanks for the kind words!

facial> thanks, man! haha i love your signature. crackes me up :p

Imc> dang , i'm not that good at 3d....... i can build a rock~

roundeye> thanks again for coloring this thing up bro! it is my favorite piece of my own work now and will be for a LONG while ^^

cgfreak> yeah it a guy haha. it's kind of done in this japanese genre somewhat for a friend of mine. basically the guys look real efeminate (sp?) yeah roundeyes colors really made this piece i agree!

clept>yeah me too, i was amazed that the lineart still showed through on most of it.

hocks> hey SCEA cinematics guy! thanks for the kind words! good to see you here!

love-fest> cool another san diegoite! heh you will have to ask roundeye cause i have no idea how he did this :p

thanks again for the responses everyone!

[Neil]

I was sitting here thinking I've seen this character type before. Then i realized that it was your other work i was thinking of. This reminds me a lot of your resident Evil drawing.
You have a good working style, but i would like to see you go above and beyond and do something new. The outfits are easy to change out, but creating a new character would be more impressive.
Good luck!

[FU.Y]

very nice!!!!!!

[fireman]

......... oh... god..

This work is AWEsome!!! itchi's drawing and roundeye's drawing kick butt like oreo and a glass of milk! :applause: great job for the both of you!!
