I will work on photoshop for the beginning and perhaps on painter for the end

this is the first Warrior, at the end I will add tatoo on his skin

[nailuj]

hey it's a good concept!. Can't wait to see it with color! Good luck and have fun :o)

well...it will be longer than I thought.....

[Arc80]

Welcome dude. That's some nice line drawings. Can't wait to see some colour comps.

cheers,
Archie

[artjunkie]

Great stuff... your sketches are amazing... AMAAAAZZZING!!!

Can't wait to see you begin some colour on this one. Just a quick question: The two warrior guys on either side of the blood queen seem to be different in art style than the queen and the statues forming her throne (they don't look as 'natural' in line quality or proportions)... are the warriors meant to be real live creatures or just statues themselves? Just wondering...

I'd love to know more about the backstory for this piece too! Why is she the 'blood' queen... who are the warriors... why are they chained next to her... what do the carvings mean, etc, etc.

Awesome stuff thus far, and looking forward to seeing MORE!

Cheers!

[goktugg]

hi ~Rodrigue :) wonderful starting!:thumbsup: very well!
good luck

She is a Queen of War, she likes warriors's fight. Young boys who want to become stronger and great fighters come from all over the country to see her. She possess the secret blood, with it you are transformed but your life is no longer yours, she possess you for ever. This is the first prize, after having given your life to her you have to pass the blood test, the blood is mortal and only the real warriors can survive to this test. The two giants warriors near her are her older servants, they drank 3 times the secret blood and they became the giants of war.

I will make the legs's warrior on the right longer and stated the skulls soon.

I have changed the composition to focus more on the queen and concentrate on the center of the picture.

I think the character on the right looks more powerfull mow...I hope :)

[BlacKeri]

...You gotta be kidding me.
How do you manage to make all of those details so elegant? Your patience is inhuman! :P
Seriously, this is AMAZING, simply amazing. I totally can't wait to see the coloring stage! O_O

[lulaassassina]

Lord Pacal was a woman! :D

I will try to finish this one tonight....why we need to sleep :)

[Smash.rs]

OoO I can't wait to see this with colors on it!!

I made the young character in the of the queen bend his head to make him look more dominated.
The spear in my precedent sketch was too long and atracted too much attention so I decided to changed it into a sword.

[Blaschke]

J'ai hate de voir la couleur là dessus. Vas y avoir un gros travail au niveau de l'ambiance.
Tu devrais regarder le prince d'égypte ou les arts works d'eldorado!

Bonne chance!!

hooo, too tired today, I will try to finish the line tomorrow night.

[cha0t1c1]

did I forget to comment? Oh this looks incredible, I'd have to say this work is worth of being in a museum as an artifact of how patient an artist can be throughout time... Your line work skills are comparable to Enayla's painting skills... btw that's a complement...

[gorvien1]

Awesome! Can't wait to see more! The detail in your sketch and composition is great. :bounce:

I made a quick 3D model of my scene with very simple forms and I saw that my perspective was weird, now I'm trying to fixe it

[Rodrigue]

I'm satisfy for the lighting direction, now I can start the color part......very difficult part :)

[minduinho]

starting with a great contrast.
im anxious about the next update.
i think if you put some gold details will fits good.
cya

[ElTordo]

i have to say this concept is realy great good luck ...



I like what u do to the Macahuitl (sword)

u might make a serch on "Coatlicue" is an aztec godes with a realy cool outfit, may be it can help

cheers

[Samuraikuroi]

Outstanding! Cant wait to see the colors. :thumbsup:

[frak3]

Beautiful work! I love it, and its a nice twist.

[cha0t1c1]

this is starting to look so good, my confidence is dropping :D

great work...still watching...

[komaroml]

Really nice composition. I like it. :thumbsup:
Waiting for the final colorization.

[jugeras]

great work rodrigue. will be keeping tabs. and yup gold really works.

cheeers maaaan.

[FredH]

bahh, I have seen better stuff from six year olds....:D

Soo, like, where is the color already?....:D

ok ok, seriously now, it's coming along very nicely dude! But, if I had one comment, (you are going to hate me for this) it would be that she is to close to ground level with her servants. Maybe you could cut and raise her platform, including the two large servants on either side, up a bit and then fill in the empty space. This would make the stairs that lead up to her have more steps... and hence create the feeling that she is above everyone and everything is beneath her. Otherwise, everything else looks great!!!

Keep it up!:thumbsup:

Well, for now I'm looking for the colors...it's not easy sigh :(
ElTordo : thanks, I found a lot of good reference!
Marco B. : big thanks for the 3D model of the chain......One day I'll beat you at pingpong grrrr
FredH : you help me a lot for the composition, and you made me make a lot of changes.....what? new comments?....ooo I'm starting to hate you ;)

[SteelPixel]

had to subscribe to this one, really cool style, urgh now I must rethink my entry :)

[nailuj]

It's looking greeat!!.. just that u need to be carefull as not to loose the focus. At the moment she is kinda faded into the background, rather the 2 giants on boths sides are the main highlight to me. Maybe after painting it further I could be wrong. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: .

Of so many submission, yours is very interesting and different! :thumbsup:

[FutureTense]

Really sweet looking so far. Considering the very ... Mayan? style of the architecture and clothing I'd almost expect some more vibrant colors. I can certainly understand why you aren't using them, but you might consider making the red of the cloth draped across her even more vibrant, and really making her gold gleam to help pull the focus to her. You've actually done this to a degree, but considering how small and recessed she is, you might consider going even more extreme. But maybe not, it might unbalance the image, I'm not sure. But regardless, it's looking really really great. Keep it up!

[Nigel-Q]

Hey this piece is awesome!
I can't believe i haven't seen it yet, but it's definately one of my favorites now. You've got an interesting concept, great sketches, linework and now colours.
You're working method seems to be close to mine as well so it's cool to see how you've developed this, especially what you've now done with the line art. It makes it so much more subtle, yet it's still tight.

Where are you at in Canada? Are you doing concept art? You should be with work like this. Cheers.

[Rodrigue]

two days without working on this picture....bad, bad me.....:(

[BaronImpossible]

Very good, very detailed. Your big pic, however, looks too desaturated. Nothing wrong with that, but when it's desaturated that much it tends to lose the subtle hues of the light when it picks up colours by bouncing off other objects, which is why (IMO) your lighting looks slightly washed out. But it's still an amazing piece, very professionally done.

Oh, and the giants' arms holding the shields appear too short, especially the guy on the right.

[nebezial]

well im glad i corrected the mistake os missing this thread...impressive! RESPECT!!!:thumbsup:

[GhostInTheMachine]

very nice image! i think the depth needs some work, or are those dudes as big as they look?
she's got a bit of a belly, hasnt she? *runs away quick*
good work! :D

Baron impossible : you're right about the harms, I think I will remove the women heads and make them longer...poor heads :)
Your thread is amazing, I like your colors and the composition, your comments make me proud

Nebezial : wow, compliments from you, I'm very flattered

[eliza]

This work is one of the greatest i've seen. The composition is full of life :)

[BlacKeri]

My goodness. The lineart was godly and colors are really bringing it to life...

I stop on this character I'll finish it later, now I will start the left one.

[joshcaez]

Man this is looking great! I like the composition and how it displays a classical feel to it. Can't wait to see how this progresses. http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Cheers!

[cha0t1c1]

slow......slow...pff

[jeromoo]

Very meticulous piece! the lady (master) looks rather bland compared to her bodyguards. Are you planning to add to her assortment of jewelries or just like that? Her face and pose looks a bit too friendly for this supposely cruel scene.

I wonder why the bodyguards need to be chained up like dogs? If she is their queen and ruler, wouldn't they have served her dedicatedly all the same? Don't get me wrong, I am just wondering.

Will be looking forward to the final stage.

[hottincup]

i wonder if this in a palace or outside, the lighting is kind of refering to the sunlight. Wow, never seen a palace like this maybe from ancient aztec is something like this.

[calisto-lynn]

i love the architecture, and the colours look great!

:thumbsup:

[Agent-Orange]

I was obbsessed with the Mayan Culture for about a year and a half. You r details are looking good. The skulls. Well I love skulls, it was the first thing I ever learned to draw. Your gliphs are looking good to. Did you just put some in there? Or do they have a certain meaning?

The only crit I have so far is the Gaint gaurds should have a bit of a stone look to them, but that is just what I think.

[TheMagnetic]

DUDE!!this is so tight! the poses are perfect. I mean...perfect.. you are doing a great job of telling a story with one page. THAT is an illustration

[Tranchefeux]

Hi, your painting is really cool you with advanced good, perhaps
a little more contrast on the unit, go, go for the continuation. :thumbsup:

[ChrisThatGuy]

... the lady (master) looks rather bland compared to her bodyguards....

Yeah, I'd say there should be some spots of stronger colour on the center figure to draw attention back from the saturated colours in the bodyguards and to help make a focal point. Very nice work. I can't wait to see it finished.

[lulaassassina]

This is getting better and better.

Well, the warriors are not finished (especially the left one) but I can't wait more time to start the queen.

[igorstshirts]

This is kicking mad ass!

[arkinet]

great detail, stl waiting for the final :thumbsup:

[Art2]

Excellent stuff! Nuff said...

okay, so we get it you're talented( :D )....

I will try to finish the queen tomorrow

[cha0t1c1]

wow I love the sensuality of the body shape ....

[Adamos]

Hey Rodrigue!

This is looking mighty professional here! Your line arts were amazing, now your coloring is. So I've got nothing else to say, than: I admire your image !

Good luck on finishing it!

Cheers, Adam

the Queen is not finished, I have to paint the background and I still have three characters to color......God take me now!!!!

[dyoung79]

Hey Rodrigue,

First time to this forum, and first time doing a challenge. Your image is friggin amazing. I absolutely love the sense of Aztec architecture. Coloring in amazing so far as well. All around great piece. Question though. When doing the line art, did you just use Photo Shop for that or some other program? You have some serious patience.

Kudos!
Dan

[Samuraikuroi]

whoa! Rodrique, Really nice stuff! The detailing is insane, i LOVE it!





My master & servant (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=226306)

[Rodrigue]

I used to start my line on paper but on this piece I made all the line in photoshop with the basic brush. I discovered the "magic":) of doing black line in photoshop 2 years ago when I was trying to find a quick way to ink my comic pages.The problem is that I always want to add details instead of starting the color....:(

[arkinet]

nice & crispy:twisted: hehehehe... great work rodrigue... & hey, no drifting away now, time to push, push push!!!

[JRBRAZ]

Really really good. Amazing colors and details. :eek:

My computer crashed AGAIN arggggggg

[werezoo]

I am really impressed with your work, great stuff, can't wait to see it finished.

[arLutiK]

wow awesome work, those guard won't go far with that short of a chain just enough to protect the master, I just find the chain a bit big, they don't seem to be proportional to the rest of the composition that is overall amazing.

Wonderful work you did there.

[cyartist]

Great stuff! Your style is consistent which shows your tecnical skill.

[arkinet]

I just find the chain a bit big, they don't seem to be proportional to the rest of the composition

I agree with arlutik, IMO I thnk they should be straining hard holding on to something on the wall to keep their balance with a chain that big attached to their neck, or maybe choking... oh well, its a fantasy world so just ignore me:)

overall, its a splendid work!:thumbsup: will be back for more...

I worked on the stairs on I have started to put more vegetation in the scene

I decided to change the statue holding the chain, I'm not really sure of the result but I think it's better than before

[Rodrigue]

I liked the Head armor on the shoulder but it attracted too much attention so I changed it into a Leather armor part.

Next step the two boys and after I will start to polish all the scene and add vines on the walls

[andreasrocha]

Great detail Rodrigue. Perhaps you could creat some contrast between areas around. At the moment, everything seems to have the same importance.

Keep 'em comin'

[werezoo]

Definately one of my favorites, great detail and execution. Can't wait to see what you do for the next challenge ;)

[ered dium]

First of all, The color and all the details are great. I really like the idea, it's perfect for the challenge; I also like some elements like the blood, the tattoos and the skulls.
No critics keep going

[JRBRAZ]

Hi Rodrigue, I like very much all the details, but I miss more contrast in scene ... The color are too washed ... There is a great ilumination in scene, but it don´t appear because the low contrast ... Make more tests with these .. I sure will improve the colors ... Anyway Great work. :thumbsup:

[dloots]

This is fantastic, you have mad skills and ideas. brilliant

Good luck you are a sure contender

[Vectorius]

WWAAAOOOUUUUWWW!!!:eek: That's a very good work!!Perhaps should you add some lianas..or some vegetals elements...It's just a personnal artistic suggestion..so it's not very important for your picture ;it's up to you:) .


Good luck and kepp it up!!

I had yesterday bad comments about the young boy in front of the queen, I didn't sleep last night because of that, so I made changes, and now it's final...I hope

[JMcWilliams]

Good luck, and well done... it's looking great.

[AdrielaSakamoto]

This is just beautifully done...

Congratulations. You did a really good job. The amount of detail is very well done. Good luck.:bounce:

heeeyy!

I didn't know you were here actually; i just saw in your website your picture, and
it's pretty good looking, you smooth a lot your texture know.
i have hard time to find out your style, you had evoluated a lot.

I hope for your to win ( no, i'm kidding!)

BIG KISS from stinky cheese...:scream:

[NinjaA55N]

huh! this is something! a true masterpiece, with lots of detils and great technique. The only thing that I could suggest is, to strenghten colors a bit.. a bit more contrast to the overall pic... I think it will fit the theme u r dealing with. Good luck!

[nailuj]

whoa this is beautifull!!

I made few little changes on the boy and add a little bit more contrast.
Thanks evreryone for your good comments, now I can't wait for the next challenge :)

[cha0t1c1]

congratulations my friend, it looks like u produced a masterpiece :cry:

[walrus]

Hey, this has come out really well! Is it really the final one? :) Just kidding, there's nothing wrong with resubmitting final images as long as you have the time. And the changes have been good ones. Anyhow, the whole pice looks great, and a lot of good attention to nice details. And a really clear take on the theme too, which is good. Congrats for finishing!

Hey there! Wow, I see you have been busy:) Nice work Rodrigue! You got my vote:thumbsup:


Since you are still working on finalizing it hehe, how about some mist around the floor (mist or maybe dust) and some Stronger sun highlights (exspecially on all the mens skin)? Besides that, a lighter color might also be needed on her and all the skinny guys hair just to add that specular touch to give them life. Other then these minor things, everything else looks great dude!

If you are at work tomorrow morning at 8, see you there. I'll be in briefly:)

This is positively amazing. The queen on her throne is like a picture within a picture.

Only crit, and although it's more of a preference I hate mentioning this after it's too late to change anything, is the physique of the warriors. Native American warriors I've seen in photos don't have that sculpted look of a bodybuilder -- they've got lean muscle like you'd see on long distance runners. More of a preference thing. Who knows what they put in that magical sacrificial warrior blood these days. :shrug: Anyway, the other characters appear to have more of the native look, and the queen looks spot on. :thumbsup:

The level of detail you've achieved is phenomenal and your composition strongly captures the theme of the challenge. I can't stop looking at this picture.
