Nessus and Déjanire

Resulting from mythology Greek, the history tells that Hercules
after are victorious combat against crystallized Archeloos his
Déjanire wife with the Nessus Centaurs so that it helps it to cross a
river, But this last tomb in love with the girl and tries to remove
it, following that, Hercules kills the Centaur of an arrow, But before
dying Nessus will give a little its blood to Déjanire allowing him to
make a filter suitable to ensure the love to him eternal of his
Hercules husband.

This topic of mythology was treated by many artists through the
centuries.

I want since long time to treat this topic which interests me by its
content passion and these graphic possibility.

My scene is held close of the Louvre in decorations of ruin, or the
heroes of these legends take again life again to play the scene and to
show us our passions.

[Speaky]

Hi Tranchefeux, good to see you join us!

What a powerful start you've made too, though I must say the first thing I thought of when I saw it was Frank Frazetta's 1974 cover to The Moon Maid. :shrug:

I really liked your space opera pic, it was one of my favourites, a very unique style. Your master and servant entry was good, though I felt it to be a bit evenly busy all over and I think the same thing is happening here, though I know it's a very early stage. I find the shapes of the centaur and woman are really struggling to emerge from the very busy background, so maybe you need to make sure your value blocks are better separated - the girl's dress seems to merge with the rubble in the background for instance. Another thing would be to make sure that you only put a lot of detail and texture into the primary areas of focus, something Frazetta was a master of and something I always try to keep in mind.

Good luck with the challenge! :thumbsup:

[beelow]

Welcome dude, glad to see that u have entered this contest good luck with your entry, holla!:thumbsup:

[ori@r.a.m]

very good start, the anatomy of the characters is very good.. all i can say is that even for a sketch it's a beautiful work.. good luck man i will keep an eye on your work :)
your other challenges entries are really great and very unique, so i have an expectation from this one too ;)

[cyberarts]

I really like your work!

I'll keep an eye on it 'till the final result!

Good luck!:thumbsup:

[walrus]

Good to see you back, Tranchefeux! I've always liked your work, and your GSO entry was incredibly original.

This one... not so much so far, but hey, it's only your first post, there'll be time for tons more. As for crits, can't think of anything to say that Speaky didn't cover above. Especially the Frazetta comparison.

Good luck for the continuation, and have fun!

[Slav]

i think there are a few tweak you need to work out around the hands area... but man... i feel for you... at least when yous tart doing that water :( holy crap that's going to be a head ache. :P

[MichaelZHsee]

hey eric,glad to have u back ~man i wish u luck in the challenge~a very great start,i'll just sit back and enjoy the progress :thumbsup:

[Arctis]

Hi, rich and detailed picture once again !
However the composition doesn't seem really "spectacular", a bit too centered for me.
But on the other hand, your textures are spectacular... Let's see the finish !
Good luck !

[Tranchefeux]

Kemar; Thank you compatriot for large talents, I like much your
painting and his architecture.

Jose Pardo: Thank you your supports you.

Speaky: Thank you for your comments, yes I know the painting of
Frazetta or it with represented the centaur and Déjanire, that would
not astonish me that it it is inspired him even of this history of
mythology Greek, and that it is desired to give its version of this
topic taken again much and represented by many artists before him. In
spite of the a little similar spirit of its painting, by the dynamics
of the diagonal one which was for me best the option, my realization
will be different and will keep the style between primitive Flemish
and Baroque which I love so much.

Beelow; Thank you for the comment.

ori@r.a.m; Thank you for the comment

cyberarts: Thank you for your encouragements.

wairus; Thank you for the comment and your encouragements.

Slavic: Thank you for the comment

sh@ke; Thank you for the follow-up.

Arctis: Thank you for the comment

Now I begin the basic work of the subjects, I started with
Déjanire by improving the drawing and work about it volumes the best
possible one a color, I have to rout my character for more precision.

[Falcorr]

So it seems that you have come here to humiliate me with your skills :eek:

Everything seems great, but ease down with the back muscles of the centauri. Do some soft areas also. Emphasize muscles that normally grow big not all tiny muscles to get better real feeling.

Female looks great and so does the drapery she has.

Good luck! :)

[Shadow Seraph]

the concept alone is beautiful, even with it being just a preliminary view on the scene. But with the hashed out details of the woman, I can see your final pieces details will be nothing less than the beauty she contains in her single work. I love it, incredible detail, smooth. very nice indeed.

[beelow]

Nice stuff so far, great drapery and figure of the woman, you may need to fix the foot it seems a bit awkward! Be back lata!:thumbsup:

Large plan on Nessus.

[Fahrija]

There you are!

very powerful character expressions. Great work.

Are you going to overpaint your pencil drawing (like your cat picture) or will it be a part of the finished image like in the previous challenges?

[ori@r.a.m]

great work, gret detailing and i love the characters.
really impressive work :thumbsup:

[R-K]

nice anatomy. I'll see what comes out of this one.

[MoonVisionStudio]

Man, this is shaping up really good, really fast. I am not sure about the angle of her breast, but other than that it truly is spectacular!

[evanfotis]

Eric, I really like your work.:)
This entry is reminding the "old masters" of rennaisance, and I like your approach.
The contrast between the fragile woman and the bold and massive centaur.
A note about the muscles on the back:
although this is a fantastic animal so the anatomy and muscle topology can afford to differ from the humans a bit, the right side is not the same with the left one.
Especially in the lower traps before the dorsals, it has to become more consistent on each side.
I prefer the left side.
(Have looked up any bodybuilding photos were they use these poses?)
Also his left arm veins are a bit too obvious, like branches, maybe you can smooth some places in, so they blend more with the arm.

I love the detail and the textures.
Womans head maybe a bit bigger?
Horse is awesome.
Keep up, man:thumbsup:

[rawwad]

Hey, Famous Eric Tranchefeux is here :wavey:

I like your original style, remminds me fantastic old school works. Nice idea, I like centaur design very much, most fantastic is how you painting muscles. I look foward to see another masterpiece from you, keep working :thumbsup:

[TheFirstAngel]

Striking piece Eric, and the gurl is simply too sweet. his spearhand actually looks a slight bit too small, hollow or not gripping the spear, maybe a decent lightup on the contours of his inside of his hand (that sss blabla and fresnel thingy :p) the thumbpart of the palm (venushill?) or the fingers in the shadowarea solve that.

For the rock, like for the characters I work enormously in
painter 9, which is the version that I prefer by his large fluidity, I
use textures of papers for creates details of rock quickly that I mix
with the keys of brushes that I melts.

[kemar]

Great work, so inspiring. 2 thumbs up.

[authentic]

That's really impressive. Nice poses and great ambience.

[Slav]

damn it... man now i am going to have to work all week end long again to match this.

grr! you make me angry... but its a good angry that promotes competition. :P

[Tranchefeux]

Hi, All, thank you for the last supports and comments, I continue my
painting and I the turbo one puts so not, I am afraid not to finish in
time.
In the spectacular kind, Steve Vai was in concert Saturday in
Paris and really it is enormous it is a alien.
@ + for continuation
E.T :cool:

[NOOB!]

great work,is it gunna be in full colour,or u gunna keep it monotoned?

one thing that bothers me is the girls hair,it looks stiff.

[Ducklator]

wow... excellent image... looks great.... keep it up man:thumbsup:

[beelow]

I am itching to know what kind of paper texture and brush did you use to create those rocks! PM me if you have the time! Great stuff so far!:thumbsup:

[Atris]

Hi! I really like your painting! The great composition! And only one. In my view, the girls expression is too tranguil and indifferent to the happening event! I wish you good luck!

[THECLYKE]

Nice Rocks


Looking Well Done

Keep It Up.......i'm A Fan

[MoonVisionStudio]

I always marvel at the insane amount of detail in your image, Great Textures!

[Pat-Piper]

wow very cool and awesome design! I'm always fascinated by anything related to greek mythology.

one thing however, is that the centaur looks like he is only standing on one leg, something I have never seen a horse do, or think is capable of doing. maybe both hind legs, or hooves should be on the ground?

[Tranchefeux]

[rawwad]

WoW, Amazing details. Centaur looks great, especialy his skin and "armour" :applause:

[lynch]

but nice details

[pleatsmaster]

nice details on your main subject and foreground, you are obviously a good illustrator. will you add more colors or remain as it is.

hope you wont let the background so unfinish:)

[Squibbit]

Details of work.

[MoonVisionStudio]

Nice anatomy on the lion!

[cLos71]

Intense amount of detail overal, good job.

[wildcory1]

Nice detail and texture. It will be nice when you start working in the color. Great work

[andreasrocha]

Eric...great piece! This last detail really shows of your mastery of painted texture. You rule, dude!

[beelow]

Nice update eric, keep at it!

[Tranchefeux]

Hi, thank you for the last supports, I hurry to finish my drawing to
today begin the colors quickly, sorry not to take part more in the
thread, I am too occupied with my commands to make my participation in
the challenge more. or it remains me little of time.
E.T :cool:

[ravioli_rancher]

Tranchefeux,

:drool:

Your work is gorgeous, and etched with delicate details. Hopefully the month remaining will be enough time for you to finish. No need to spend too much time posting explainations. Please just use the time to paint! Work this beautiful in monotone should generate a long ovation when flooded with color.

:arteest:

[evanfotis]

Eric, I've already said how much I like your work.
But I have some doubts with the backgroung.

1st: it's a bit too fussy, especially behind the woman, and unless in the colouring you make a clear distinction of the foreground characters and the backround, I feel the bg robs from the centaur&woman...

2nd: those stone/rubles don't seem to fit in the enviroment you've made, with the sculpures, palace aggrandisement etc...

Just my $0.2

[Tranchefeux]

http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9371/9371_1131642718_medium.jpg (http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9371/9371_1131642718_large.jpg)

The work of the drawing and volumes is now completed, I am to
apply as well as possible to this stage so that the colors which will
come is to work then like glacis on various copies. I surely will add
Hercules with far prepare his arrow to kill Nesus.

[Steve-h]

Fantastic work and detailing Eric! Sometimes I feel like I want to see more water, but maybe that’s just me. All in all this is a great piece of artwork.


:)

[walrus]

It's beautiful work, Tranchefeux! Lovely textures and lighting... and everything! I love the rendering on the woman's back... but there's also something bothering me about her. Hope you don't mind my pointing this out, but it seems to me like her head is much too small for her body, and her lrgs pehaps too long? It seems to me as though if you were to extend those legs and picture her standing up, she would be at least 9 heads tall!


Just my opinion, but I thought it might be helkpful to point it out before you get to coloring. Good luck!

-mike

[Imperial1983]

simply amazing :eek:

the details are exquisit man... AND U LIKE STEVE VAI TOO!
OMG
I will begin to study Jazz guitar in two years. Steve was a huge influence on me.
Some songs are pretty nasty to play :D
Keep up the great work...I love your pictures.


Daniel

[Narida]

your work is just... breathtaking. really. I'm very very very impressed. If I am to crit anything it would be the breast of the girl, her hair and the horse's tail. The breast I'd give mayby a bit higher? I'm not sure, but something is wrong with it. Hair and the tail - they look as they didn't belong to the body and ( I'm not sure how to say that) the part of hair being further from the body was growing out of the hair itself not from the body. for example look at the tail. at the very beginning it's very thin, but then it turns into huge brush. Where is all this hair from? However the picture is reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllly amazing. good luck!

[Tranchefeux]

Now I begin the colors with copies which is over my drawing
what enables me to seek my hues without touching with the drawing,
this process is rather fast, because all the work of the details is
already to realize, the stages following will consist in enriching the
colors until the final result gradually.

[MichaelZHsee]

this is just priceless~:thumbsup:best of luck eric!

[ilusiondigital]

Beautiful pic.

I wish you good luck for this challenge, friend

[THECLYKE]

Amazing Forrest My Man

Progression of the colors, I worked on the centaur Nesus, the

[Tranchefeux]

Thank you, for your last supports, I think of finishing the woman for
this evening.

[MichaelZHsee]

gosh!with such details,u r fast!:bowdown:

[rawwad]

Agree!: Great details and fantastic speed of working :bowdown:

[Squibbit]

I was wondering when you're going to do the next sharply detailed image.

This is a great one, one of the top images in this challenge.

You rock, dude. :thumbsup:

[MoonVisionStudio]

Great start on color! Outstanding detail as always!

Progression of the setting color on the decorations,
I worked on the foreground.

[MoonVisionStudio]

Bravo! You are kicking ass and taking names!

[zpapageo]

Beautiful work, eric. This is a very classy piece.
I love the sharp detail, but I think the focus should be softened in places, like the rocks. I think it competes too much with the figures. Keep it up.

[Aeger]

Very nice. Only one thing that bothers me it looks like your showing too much of her breast/ribcage compared to her back.

[botho81]

wow, first impression is very good. but as zpapageo said, there are too many
things important in this piece. i mean the level of detail is great but the
viewers attention has to be more controlled.
greetings and don't get me wrong. it's a beautiful and powerful piece !

[Tranchefeux]

http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9371/9371_1132323108_medium.jpg (http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9371/9371_1132323108_large.jpg)

Progression of the setting color on the decorations, I worked
on the rocks of the bottom, like front the statue of the lion. I do
not seek to imitate a photo objective which would like that the bottom
is fuzzier and less detailed, but rather a vision like those of
primitive Flamants of the 1400 century or each part of painting is
neat to appreciate it by far, like very very ready one.

[Vectorius]

Splendide eric!Very beautiful job, i'm going to say the same thing like botho81 and zpapageo said (too many details) but by thinking and viewing your job ( in totality), it seems to be your style. i mean, by putting details and details you've found your own style Eric. en + de ça c'est bien maitrisé!!! So...keep goin'on Eric that rocks!!:thumbsup:

[beelow]

I love those colors and textures on your work, great stuff dude, keep doin' tha damn thang!:thumbsup:

[DoInferno]

WOW! Beautifull!

[Jaba153]

Progression of the setting color on the decorations, I worked
on the statue of the lion and the foliages. there remains to me
architecture and the sky to be finished.

[beelow]

amazing work eric, Sky and clouds and the architecture, next huh? Keep at it!:thumbsup:

[Genesisa]

hey man, i love your painting, is very simbolic and is so well done, is amazing. i only have to say, when i saw the image the first time i didnt notice the right front leg of the horse. or the manhorse, whatever jeje, idont know english... well i was thinking that maybe you can put some kind of fill light there or something on the borders of those legs of the front, maybe on the hair. you know, how looks the hair when the lights come behind it.... would be cool and will help to make the legs more visible.


see you later man, see my thread please and give me some critics, i see that you can have some advices for me. you are a great artist. have fun!!!

[cLos71]

This is really coming along. Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[SquishMe]

This is a fantastic picture. Great work mate.
I was thinking about painting in greyscale and adding colour later, just don't know which technique is best for me. Need to practice and see.
I love all the textures, rock, hair, clouds... It's all great! Well done.

[fia]

Bea tiful painting, I love the graphic style and txtures.

Here the installation of the color as a whole finished, I will
now be able to look further into the details which will be visible in
the maximum resolution or when I would make an impression in large
size, I would post zooms for shown the differences, I go then create
the Hercules character that I would like to see in my painting with
far.

[NinjaA55N]

Very good painting as we always get it from u. Ur details r so amaizding and u r still planing to add them some more? huh... awesome.. I wish I would have ur patience for this :) Waiting for more, so good luck :)

[beelow]

great stuff so far, till the next update, 12 days left!:thumbsup:

[wildcory1]

This has some crazy detail about the best I have seen. Only coment is color it dosnt feel right I dont know.

[Tranchefeux]

One of the last stages to finish my painting consists in
looking further into the definition of the details, here a part of
painting to the maximum of its resolution before and after this work,
I also adjusted the color a little.

[Tranchefeux]

http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9371/9371_1133108222_medium.jpg (http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/10/9371/9371_1133108222_large.jpg)

A second part of my painting to the maximum of its resolution
before and after this work,

Here painting as a whole after this work of completion, with this size
of image (150 Kb) have practically do not smell a difference with the
version of front, but if I makes an impression on large sizes there
will be really a difference. It remains to me now with creates the
character of Hercules whom I wish to see appearing in painting in far.

[Mythmaker]

It's a really awesome piece Eric - so detailed and refined. Really great style too.

The only thing that detracts is a lack of imagination - particularly compared to your own Space Opera entry.

Still among the best entries I've seen though.

[Tranchefeux]

Creation of the character of Hercule, it will be really very
small in painting as I show it here to the maximum of his resolution
and to his size of impression it this will locate on rambarde at far
in the landscape.

Here my Hercule character finished with the progressions of
the colors, before its incorporation on painting final.

Painting to finish with the integration of the character of
hercules, I also worked a texture on all the image and added a little
grain.

This topic of painting is resulting from mythology Greek, it at
summer treated of many time through the centuries and I wanted to make
my version of this history, I like the content emotional of this
subject which treats passion in love and tearing that it involves, I
think that human passions can be sometimes spectacular, here the love
of a woman will result in the death of Nesus per Hercules.
I have to also try for this challenge to push a little my pictorial work on
returned matters for effects spectacular!!!

Thank you for your supports and good luck with all the participants.

[jairobbo]

Hi Eric,

Im sorry to say that I'm not that impressed. It seems like you put a lot of work in detailing the picture but compositionwise it's not that great. The characters seem very detached, the house and statue too, by the way..

It is as if you made a composition from existing elements, that's maybe te reason they don't communicate. Also a bit suspicious that you never posted sketches. The sky falls way out of style with the rest.

I dont't post a lot so I'm just a small voice, but I saw this picture and I just had to get this of my heart. I think you have talent and especially the motivation, but there could be al lot of improvement if you focused on getting the emotion down and the expressions..

well goodbye,

Jairo
