Title: Viking Warrior
Name: Steve Holt
Country: USA
Software: Painter

Hi all,

This is my impression of an ancient Nordic/Viking type fantasy warrior, done in Painter 9. This is a personal project and a new portfolio piece mainly, although this will also be my EXOTIQUE submission.

Any comments, feedback on this piece are of course welcome.


Thanks

Steve H

I really like it, nice hands, great snow, the only problems I have is (and these are my opinion)his face doesnt seem to be old enough or weathered, and the image is warm feeling yet I think cold when I see the snow, I think a cooloer feel would be more fitting since u can see his breath in the cold air.

i have to agree with dinfet you got way too may warm colors there giving alot of red you should have more blue trying channeling the colors in photoshop anyways to show you what i mean i did some color fixing to your pic i hope you don't mind ....it gives it a more cold feel to it and making the viking more cold hearted (its a sloppy job but you get the idea)

all being done in great details... nothing to say about de coloring... only improvement I can thought of is the expression... can add a bit more of the expression to the character would b better.
