Master and Servant 2D Entry: Svetlin Velinov

[calisto-lynn]

yo've got some serious colouring skills. simply beautifull!

[SpaceTik]

Man! your really good dude!

great style and detail. :thumbsup:

[frak3]

Nice work man, really effective. Although it is a slutty nun (tut-tut), I get the concept and it works, nice juxtaposition. A nun would hopefully preserve life rather than take it.

And the master servant message is loud and clear!

[Kraull]

Solid!!! :buttrock:Can't say anything.

[XIA]

Wow! pretty damn nice! Good decision on the crow, it really helps your composition a lot and five your piece more life to it.

[theCloudmover]

Just checking back...

VERY NICE. I really like the addition of the crow.
What are your plans for a background? You could really enhance the mood you have with a nice understated b/g.

[olya]

great work!!!:applause: :applause:

[W-I-L]

this is one of my favs.. nothing to crit.... but are you going to do more to the backgroudn.. it is great as it is but just wondeeering

[schaal]

Very nice and cool paint style Svetlin, something of Simon Bisley in your brush strokes,

Well done, congratullations

[AlyFell]

Svetlin - Everytime I look at this I am astounded! It just gets better with each update. :) One thing, are you going to remove the black like round Death's outstretched hand?

[ANARKY]

Hi there. Ive been watching this and its a grea image. The colour scheme works really well and the concept is very nice as well. Poor girl, I wonder what else he gets her to do?

I was wondering i fyou where going to add anything to the background? A Land scape or something?
Just a thought!

[Slav]

hey there... i am really liking where this image is going but i must say that the skin tone of the "death" character is to simmilar to the background i think it would be nice to see it stand out a bit more or something of the sort.

[KOryH]

so far so good i am really liking this one.
best of luck to you.

[Velinov]

I couldn't give right answer all of your questions, but because almost everyone has asked me
about the bg I'll say that I still don't know what to do with that void. The decision will be
taken through the development process. I'll be happy if someone could give me some ideas.
I change the place and size of the crow. You'll find out that very soon...

To PoshSpice: : I had started from a sketch, so if thete is some black stroke that I haven't
erased or painted above that will happen at the end. Thank You "Spicy"!!! You are good as
usual!!!

[tuck]

Hey, I really love your style and technics.:eek::eek:

[AinodiEpuitora]

Good concept and good implementation, i should say. The nun illustrates something pure, more holy. But, despite that, a nun is still a human which is still controlled by sin(illustrated by the skull creature sitting on the chair). Good lightning, overall, COOL!

[kaparo]

Hi Svetlin
Excellent work. It is going better every time I see it. About the background I think it dont need anything else. The compositon has enough strenght in the character. Anyway is not bad to think abouit it. Who knows what good idea might come! Congratulations!

[JasonChan]

Wow, this is looking really good! The crow was a nice touch, I agree. I also like the "welcome" text on his rug. Very funny :)

[MetaseQ]

Very nice and cool paint style Svetlin, something of Simon Bisley in your brush strokes
i agree...

you should add some background...
...this is my favorite.

[picksel]

It's wonderfull like always! It's finished ?

[Vectorius]

AMAZING WORK!! I love it! he's great !! GOOD LUCK!!

[sgw]

this is simply RAD. I'm love'n it.

[Einar]

Wow! You'll go really far. There's not much to critique here... I like everything, the subdued colors, the composition and especially the characters. Very interesting work! Good luck to you!

[redehlert]

Ass-pattin' aside, this is one stellar piece built on so many layers. I almost wish he had a beer cozy and a remote to pull it all on a total coach potato level. Again - stellar!
Peace.

[exigent]

You are an inspiration. This is a great entry!

[se7en-z3r0]

Too damn cool! I can't stop thinking about this image. The nun is hot and the demon is great, especially the cowboy boots. The crow is a really cool addition as well. My only crit is that the main character needs to be a different color than the background. Thats just a personal opinion though so take it for what its worth. Epic entry so far.

[ered dium]

Excellent artwork, I really like the details (like the crow, the boots...) and colors. Cool characters.
Maybe you can add more elements in the background and create a better atmosphere.
Keep going.

[giocele]

Hei man...
great great work. Fantastic idea.
I love the image. The characters are fantastic.
The cowboy boots... wow... the 'welcome' carpet ... wow... what a fantastic work!!

To me, is the best, until now.

Keep going.

:buttrock::buttrock::buttrock::buttrock::buttrock:

[BlacKeri]

*sigh* It rocks so hard! Fantastic in every detail :) I especially love the golden elements, so detailed and such great quality! :o

[Morgy]

What about few more flying crows which are trying to reach the throne?:D

[Velinov]

Hi. I think that it isn't necessary to put more crows. My argument is my next upload where you
could find the answer of my decision. I hope that you will find the gold element more detailed
then my last update. You will find and some more elements in the composition whitch in my
opinion makes the image more completed and nire to the final view of my challange entry.


Cheers

...and some details...

[duddlebug]

Looking great, Velinov...

I love the crisp colours and the details your adding. I'm not 100% convinced on the positioning on the crow. I wasn't sure when it was up on the horns, either... I think the crow was a good addition though... have you tried it in other places...?

Really good stuff.

[Velinov]

Oh yes!!! Duddlebug, I've tryed so many diferent places for this pure bird and I saw that her
place is only on death's sholder or nowhere else.

[Mysterious X]

Love the new crisp look too..and about the crow as duddlebug said...also I think that its head is in an unnatural position..but overall the portrait just rocks !

[Velinov]

Maybe I must try some diferent pose of those creature. Maybe then I'll find bird's right place!!!

[wonlife]

Amazing work ! keep it up :bounce:

[spiro]

Brilliant, from sketch to end...
The only thing I could have doubts about is the skin color of the nun. Or really the shadowcolor. It seems to brownish and black, maybe a slightly hue towards pink or blue (depending on the color of the light) could do it, and a teeny bit brightness. I think she would become more vivid and naked(=bare) with this. I don't know if she's intended to be that naked and innocent, but since she is the servant...

Otherwise I just agree with the latter 15 pages of awe. You are a visual genius!

[NOOB!]

looks good,i don't know about the shadow the crow is casting,i don't think that red tint works well.

[element5]

@Velinov .. That is an amazing amount of detail... I hope there is a tutorial in all this...hehe I have no crits because am just gobsmacked by your talent.

I hope you can come and give me some pointers...:D

[BaronImpossible]

Heh! Up with big-breasted nuns!

One thing gets me, though. The design on his left boot appears rotated too far in the viewer's direction. With the position of his boot I'd expect it to be more in profile, like the actual foot portion of the boot. Every time I look at this picture my eyes are drawn to it, although I think that's a measure of how good your artwork is when such a small thing can bug me so much! :D

[killploki]

i love it so far. there is an amazing amount of detail! look at those boots.

......what resolution are you working at? id like to have an idea of where i should be going with mine size wise.

One of the conditions of this challange is that images under 300dpi should not be permited to enter the contest. So I'm working on 300 dpi.

sorry, i meant to ask what is the size of your file? height by width in pixels, inches etc..

[arkinet]

simply awesome dude. personally, i really appreciate water color coz I used to do a lot of watercolor painting(traditional) before. just like what they said, simply wow!!

[Jezzarts]

I like the idea of having little or no backgrounds... I get bogged down with meaningless detail that ends up detracting from the characters. Although I love the barbed wire... if anything, maybe you could have faint shapes of more barbed wire fading of into the distance behind them (it might make the background a little more interesting without distracting the viewer??) anyway, this is an excellent piece of art and is far from my critique. :)

[fooxoo]

It is looking better and better. I like the new position of the bird. The nun has a perfect expression. Good work on the welcome mat. Looks fab :D Good luck!

[Samuraikuroi]

Zdravey, Svetlin. Wow. very nice drawing and painting! :thumbsup:

[igorstshirts]

Very nice work Svetlin. The perspective on the olde english letters on the rug is insane. Everything is very well done here.

[LuisNCT]

Nice style, and no problem with the background cause the image is great

[thewicky]

Your work is great and I think it's one of the best (if not even the best of all) in the challenge. Good luck!

[grf]

The rose bush was a good call. Nice addition. Totally dig your rendering style. Those boots are great!

[navylete]

Hello, can you tell me why is the sceleton so fat?
...but looks great...

excellent work... i love this... what can u add to the backgroudn tho it seems rather left out

[Goro]

this looks freakin' cool!
I love the detailing. And the Carpet is just fantastic.

rock on! :applause:

[Versiden]

wow that's amazing.. love the style and the character design

[kornel]

Really nice details! The new place of raven is much better!!!

cheers: Kornél

[flyingP]

I'm not 100% convinced on the positioning on the crow.
me too to be honest.....damn fine work! all the same though :D

[lulaassassina]

Great work! I love your shading!

Your in my list, boy... :D

[lonewolf304]

impressive!

but the chains under the master is, i guess, getting to much light?

[Zephyri]

Those little additions you've added are a nice touch, the thorny rose vines give a better sense of framing the image, and the crow is a curiosity, goes well with the whole death image. Will you be adding the word SIN onto the ball at the bottom? I just thought that told you more of what was going on, that she wasn't there just for death's personal kicks, that she deserved to be there. whether you do or don't this image is still breath taking. And I think you're right to leave the background blank, the main characters are so strong and tell their story as is, so you'd probably just distract from them with any kind of detailed back ground. Of all the pieces I've looked at, this ranks in my top two or three for subject and style, and it's always the first one I tell people to look at when they ask.

Thanks a lot, Zepyhri. There are people which doesn't fully understand my idea, but you've
got it!!! :thumbsup: There is no sense to distract the attention of the viewer with some elements
added in the background or foreground. This wll be useless, because this could distract the
viewers attention from the right direction of my idea, especially the fight between good and
evil, innocence and lust, righteousness and the yield to temptation of sin. In that meaning
everyone is good "Welcome" to sit right to death's throne and to whet his scythe for
eternity...:)




Cheers

[Kyena]

absolutely breathtaking Svetlin - I have a feeling you'll end up pretty much among the very best in this challenge :)

[DelanoyaR]

I really liked your thought and it's reflection with your work. Especially gold patterns and wellcome text on doormat either had been brightly thought and applied to work skilfully.
Keep up good work good luck pal . . .

[alexichabane]

Awesome work! I love your painting style, it is very smooth and crisp and at the same time painterly and suggestive. I think you have a good ballance between the detailed areas of the image and the less focused areas. I've got no real suggestions .. your characer and composition are already great. Alexi.

[Tranchefeux]

Hello, Really for your painting, returned painting and comics I like much congratulation, cheer the artist.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[cgkrusty]

I love the image, the composition, the character design the gestures etc. but I wish there was more colour variation in each element. The robe, the dress, the throne, the BG, the scythe etc... they're all so monocromatic. Adding more colour variation to these elements (the entire piece really) will bring it to life.

Great stuff so far though!!!

:thumbsup: :bounce:

[ms@zx]

mind blowing piece!:eek: with crazy amount of details.i'm really sad when i cant do something like this~:sad:
definitely one of my favourite artist in cgcommunity:)

[EriktheFunk]

i like it alot, very original idea/positioning, there is quite a lack of originality in this compitition, and you are definitaly doing well to create something different, with a new idea....good job, i like it

Sweet detailing. I love the subtile way you handle lightning most ballanced and even touching in most decent reflexec. smove, funky fresh creation. keep on goin:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[komaroml]

Really nice colours. Absolutely give back the impression. Go ahead.:thumbsup:

[HOON]

excellent work man!
i like the overall texture of the image and intensity of the characters. i hope you dont find this offensive, but i think you have made some big leap from your previous works. i did like your previous works, but this is far more strong and involved, i feel that you are bringing your true potential into this picture. it would be very wrong not to mention that the character designs are fantastic

[gorvien1]

Awesome! Great concept and execution. Look forward to seeing more. :thumbsup:

[igor_BSC]

holy submission!
This is wonderful.
Isn't it funny how the best artists also always seem to have the best concepts? I love the idea.

Why don't you have a website yet? No artist like you should be without one.

[JimmiMak]

Ok... before I post how much I like this piece (purely for the layers of humour that go with it).. I just want to take this oppurtunity to completely lose it and shout ARRRRRRGGHH!! :banghead: "CHALLENGE HAS ONE 'A' NOT TWO... arrghhhh!!! lol arrgghhh!!"

All those that spell challenge as challange are evil and hate small bunnies!!:cry:... ok... :rolleyes: all done:D .

Right.. back to the pic... this rocks.. I love the Hannibal from the A-Team look that Death has.. Can see some people being slightly offended by the bondage-nun... but let's just hope that those people aint judging lol :D . Also... I let out a tiny lol when I saw the "Welcome" sign on the mat... hehe!

Great piece..

dude, what an incredible entry. I can't wait to see the final version.

did you use photo ref for the fabric folds?

[authentic]

What to say... I had to reply because it's a so good work. Impatient to see it finished.

[Nata]

OH MY GOD!!! The work is really magnificent, the concept is so much
different from the most on this contest, I'm greatly impressed!
But... I think that the nun must sit a little dipper on death's lap,
and there is something wrong with her head...perhaps it's too long.
Everything else is perfect! :applause:

[Velinov]

Thank you so much . It's really nice to heard such a nice words about your own work. In the
challenge has entered great competitors and the level of art has increased to the unbelievable
height... :) I know that in such a surroundings context of the challenge I must make my next
step very precisely. For my pity I don't have my all time to develop my entry, but you've got
to know that when it is some updates you'll know it!!!

I've got to answer to amishcommy did I used some references.
Well... The answer i totally no!!!

I have to thanks once again for all the support and crits that makes my entry each time better
then before. Keep judging me and I'll take all your advises to do of my best. :thumbsup:

[GhostInTheMachine]

this is looking VERY GOOD! :applause:
i dont know where you should put it, but i imagine a crow standing over her would look great. get the crow to pose like they do when another is eating something they want [looking aggressive], if that makes any sense.
wel done buddy! :thumbsup:

Yo wats up man! O.My.God. I feel like a @!$#ing fan boy looking at your entry! your concept is sick! lines are even sicker, but your colors are the sickest! yours and prostate sunrise's entries were the first ones that I saw and I knew right then I wouldnt be up against pranksters. so im gonna try to keep up with your skill! hope you get to the top and I hope I see you up there. If there was a bowing emoticon it would be here>..Talk to you later!!

[searparker]

I just want to said, Wow.....this is professional artwork. Each part of the picture was painted with depth skills and very details. Cool man, I love it so much!

[TheMagnetic]

dude i cant get enough of this.. its just so good. I love the concept. I saw another guys who was going for some thing like this but I know that when he sees your hes gonna cry. I reconcepted my entry, will you crit me?

[TheMagnetic]

hey man thanks for the crit! Ya I have formed my style to curtail to the comic industry. thats the next step after this. Ya i am sad to let that other concept go but I think that Ill stand a better chance of making it near ot the top with a kosher topic. its so bland and un epic compared to the devil one. any way just wanted to come say thanks for the crit

[CaesarDimxes]

Dude, I am in love with the concept, of a Nun as the servant. lol Damn good concept

This is un belated update. I've made some color corections and I belive that the death is separated from the throne now. I've put one rose - white as you see. Gues why. I love those bushes and I thing that they are one of the greatest element in the image.

Thangs for the suport up to now.
The end of the challange is near, so it going to be interesting what is going to hapend...

gorgeous, the little details :eek: :)
:thumbsup:

[Zephyri]

Wow. Just.. wow. I cannot tell you how much I sincerely love this image, Svetlin. It's dark and yet fun, there are so many individual touches that really make it stand out for me, not to mention your gorgeous painting style. It's so hard to pick one piece as a winner from all these amazing artworks, but I think this one would get my vote by a hairs breadth, simply because it makes me smile and catch my breath every time I look at it. That must really sound like I'm brown nosing, heh heh heh, but honestly, it's reverence, this image has inspired me beyond words. Best pf luck in the judging, I really hope it gets recognition.

And I agree with you about the rose bushes. But my fave part beyond all other is the cowboy boots. That's just genius!

[Adamos]

Hi Svetlin!

Really like your image as a composition, and really great execution! One thing I noticed is that the crow on his shoulder makes that area a little stuffy, maybe you could place it elsewhere? Just a thought,...but a good one :)....just kidding

[JasonChan]

Looks great! Rose is a nice tough. Might want to consider making Death's hand a different color than the background, though.

[TheFirstAngel]

hmmmm, i think the image is lighter much lighter since i last time looked at it. i prefered the darkewr version, since that, harder contrasts, help the athmosphere. to separate on a darker environment, death from his trone, a simple backlight might do it. since the whole light is warm, a working separation separationcolor would be in the cyan area. hope that made sense. Keep it up svetlin, looking forward to your next update :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[element5]

Fantastic, powerful image. something to be proud of :thumbsup:

Great image! I just think that u could balance tha composition of colrs a bit. I know that u r not finished yet, but Im curious what will the sky looked like? What colors will be in the upper part of the pic? Right now its a bit unstable in my opinion coz of heavy red carpet in the bottom and the same colour scheme on the death as well as the sky. I hope I make some sense :) Otherwise ignore me.. hehe... the pic looks fantastic!

[GhostInTheMachine]

very clean, accomplished technique! :applause:

i cant help thinking you could do something more with the background - you cant really make out what it is exactly, a wall? maybe you could come up with something knock-out for that? not necessarily too different just better defined (tortured hanging?? or something). sweet image dude :buttrock:

[Velinov]

Thank You very much, guys. :thumbsup: The judges going to be tough to judge so meny wonderful works.
I thinik that cg's challange Master and Servant was one of the best and strongest competition
since forum's competition were found. :buttrock:

Good luck to all of you...

Cheers

[RichTee]

Superb image. Excellent idea. Good luck

[John Keates]

This is a really strong peice of work. It makes me want to cry. I love the clarity of the style. It is a good balence between graphic punchyness and realism.

[MattDixon]

Great finish, Svetlin - this is definately one of my favourites! All the best in the judging.

[MoonVisionStudio]

I've said it before a few times... but i love this image!

Just one question (you've probably explained already but i've missed it)... why only one Rose..?

The paint 'finish' is just great... there's some real clever details... he's a big badass dude... and most importantly...

...It's got a foxy nun!! Woohoo!!

Good luck in the judging Svetlin!!

[Velinov]

duddlebug - The rose is metaphor which personified the love of the death to the nun. His
love is so fragille and pure like that only rose. He love her but he don't know how to
make her love him, too. He is one rigorous master who doesn't know how to keep the
love of his beloved. He knows only that he won't have another chance to love someone.


About the rose. Why one?
Well, Maybe thit is the last one.
He is concerned about the rose or he is going to snap the nun.
Where is the balance between love and hate. Is he hate the nun in his love.
Is it possible to be with her anyway? The personality of the death is bifurcate and
fulled with pain. But she still sits on his thigh.



FPrint - thatnk for the nice words!!! All in the hands of the judges. :thumbsup:


Cheers

Whee! I so love this! It turned out precisely like it should have - I can't imagine you having anything more to add to this, it's flawless. Best of luck in the competition, I'm rooting for you :D

[birdybear]

This image turned out every bit as fantastic as I hoped it would. I love the single rose you have in the corner and your nun is done in a tasteful way while still being sexy. Very rare in CGtalk!...

Good luck! :)

[Belhaven]

no real crits, looking good! i want that nun for myself.

[crowley]

One of my all time favorites: realistic and stylish at the same time, this is not something everybody can do. Truly masterful. Bravo! :thumbsup:
Just a little thing, not artistic or technical though: you've posted this as your Final Coloring, not your Final Image, so you may not have completed all the steps of the challenge. I don't know if it's on purpose or if you plan to post a Final Image later (if that's the case, I apologize), but I thought I'd tell you, just in case. I'd hate this awesome piece of art not to be judged just because of a missed step :D

[NinjaA55N]

I still hope to see some blue color in the sky, to make some contrast with the lower part of the image, but despite of that I really really love ur pic!

[eliza]

svetlio, once again, i'd like to express my admiration for your talent and creativity! wish you all the best! :thumbsup:
:beer:

[mack72]

This has turned out fabulous(just as I thought...Damn!:rolleyes:) This is one of my favourite pieces, I love your rendering style, very pleasing to the eye.

Congratulations on a very tasty piece of art!

[Velinov]

Yes, there is many great images. This challenge contains really great jobs which deserved
to be merit.

Well, we made our job, but I haven't read anywhere when the challenge going to end. When
starts the voting and ends with final judge. When the final ressolts will be announcement?

So, If someone know something about those questions, please wright me the answers.

Thanks to all competeters in this ghallenge! I think that we all helped each other to make our
entyes much beter through the developmen process of the contest. It was a great pleasure to
be a part from that.


All the best!!!
Svetlin

[Rudeone]

I heard the voting starts today, won't be public though, I think I read it in the faq thread somewhere.
So if it starts today I'm guessing winners will be announced within a month or so, I'm really not sure about this though.

If it was up to me, you would be the grand winner:thumbsup: , good luck!

[ThierryS]

Love your work man, just great stuff. Wish you luck!:thumbsup: :)

[Nigel-Q]

awesome finish, svetlin. bold composition, great use of colour and attention to detail. i like the tight, clean style.

I'm sad to see that you didn't get one of the Runner Ups - it's a great piece, one which I think deserved to be higher than Honourable Mention.

[Arctis]

I agree with ArtisticVision, but every challenges keep its part of mystery.
An excellent picture : congrats Mr Velinov.

[commodore]

Your entry was one of my favourites! I don't know why it didn't get to the top.

[Velinov]

choice. Thanks to all for the support - that is my biggest award.
