-Medieval Scene-, Mathias Verhasselt (2D)

[alfy]

Cool ^^. Love the concepty style, kind of reminds me of craig mullins. Colours and composition are great! Has a lot of atmosphere, not cliché at all :)

[mikeb87]

Great atmsphere! :thumbsup:

[baby]

very nice zob !!!

[zoki]

Beautiful painting man!
Ilike your portfolio also, cool work!

[rawwad]

Excelent piece again! I like it a lot, fantastic style with realistic ligtning, weel done 5stars :applause:

[Velinov]

Brilliant work!!! Fantastic color and atmosphere!:thumbsup:

[fellah]

what i like most in this pic compared to your others is the storytelling feeling you have captured.. and that you didn't add any of those sci-fi/mechanical gayish things!!! f**k you..!! :thumbsup:

[chingwa]

I really like this a lot! Great colors and atmosphere! The characters are great too... though I wish we as the viewer were a little more involved in the scene.

[iChiaz]

Wow, superb work, great colors and lighting!:thumbsup:

[andreasrocha]

Mathias, this piece is exquisite! You've achieved a unique atmosphere, not common to these so called "cliché medieval/fantasy" pictures (but you probably know that, hehe). Your image is well balanced. The gorge in the middle really draws you into the picture, and the way you hide what is beyond it is really well done. Your speed painting technique shows through this one, once more, and it gives a wonderful textural feeling to the overall image.

Few images make you almost feel the cool fresh air like you've done here.
I really admire your work, and I would like thank you for posting with such regularity.

I'm glad to see you're FINALLY submitting more to the finished work section m@. Most of your work belongs in here, regardless of whether you deem it finished or not. :D

Make sure you check the big version guys... the detail is brilliant.

[Fahrija]

I very much like the choice of color and the nice depth/haze coming from the canyon. the compostion and the arrangement of content is also very cool. The thumbnail version (80px x 80px) of the image allready looks very realistic. Simply awesome!

[SquarePixel]

well done mv,

This is great!! I feel like I'm there.:bounce:

[Tad]

OH cool!
I like this one,
alot of these paintings people post here are kinda boring..

but I like how this one sort of tells a story,
it's got a sense of foreboding to it.

"before the battle" could be it's title? haha,

anyhoo, cool stuff,
I think you could have fleshed out the main character more though,
seeing as he's the main subject, he just looks a bit "shaggy"

but yeah, keep it up.

[DDS]

I admire you man, u are hell of a 2D artist and also really good modeler.

[StephD]

the mood is very nice
I love the pose of the foreground character, very expressive yet not obvious

[paperclip]

Very, very beautiful! I wish I could do this type of stuff....any chance of a walkthrough/tut? :love:

[loocas]

I love it man! I love the mood and lighting! :thumbsup:

Also, the guy closest to the camera is kinda cool ;)

http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/rating/rating_5.gif from me :applause:

[Djampa]

mmmm...


wow...

Different, kinna hard to crit it, never seen much artists using this tec, specially using that well, usually we just keep high details closest to the viewer and we reduce them as ´far´ the viewer goes inside the picture...
You did hide dets at the first eyes layer and drives us to the focus of what you wanna show us, but you keep it perfectly proportional in depth. Amazing.
You are trully a master.
Good to see your work here again, congratulations!

[Rod Seffen]

This is very beautiful, not just in your typical kewl fantasy CG way, but it's a painting I'd like to hang on my wall..
I love the warm autmnal colour scheme in landsacpes.
The weakest part for me are the hooded fiugres in the distance, they just don't key into the painting for me as a design element, they're a little too leet fantasy RPGish, which jarrs against the realworld feeling in the rest of the painting.

[Tilstrom]

excellent work, well done. :cool:

[Milho]

Awesome work, once again.

Love your style.

In this particular one it's nice to have this very central axis but you still weight the composition to the right with the Knight and the rocks.
Great.

:arteest:

[rezado]

Wow WAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW, holymoly.

Awesome, hope to see more from you.

[kemar]

This is a masterpiece.

Ca vaut bien 6 étoiles, mais bon :)

{ G }

[WarrenLouw]

[animosapien]

wow.Mathias great job..I liked the feel of the kgrass knee deep..Good medieval feel..tell me something..Did you purposefully tilt the tower to the right a bit..?

[viniciusvinci]

Perfect ambiance and 'just a moment before' scene.

[midorichi]

Such a great work. But in my humble opinion, I hope if the grass field details gives more transparency to the knight's foot, it would be best.

[ErwinM]

I like the atmosphere in this one. Great use of color and texture for the ground detail.

[JohannesThe3D]

Very nice man! Congratulations!!!
