Title: Pontifex
Name: Giovanni Castro
Country: España
Software: Painter, Photoshop

Hello. As usual, I've been absent of the forums a long time because of my work. But I've been painting this illustration which I want to share with you.
My purpose was combine two different techniques in this piece. The face is done the way I normally paint my illustrations, and the rest is done in what I'd call a "comic technique", I mean letting the drawing lines visibles. I'm not sure of the result, but I don't dislike it.
Painter and Photoshop used.
Thanks for your C&C.

Ah, here you go. One of my favourites from "the Journey challenge" :) Moody and stylish as before. Just keep that style alive. 4*

I really like the look of this - a lot.
I think your attempt at mixing the styles was certainly successful.
I like you other works very much, but I would really love to see more of this particular technique.
Keep up the good work.

Cool character design and nice style! Looks like a picture out of a nice Sci-Fi-Comic.

Many thanks for your gentle words, mates. I know there's a lot of things that can be improved here, and is very kind of you focusing on the positive aspects of the illustration. I appreciate that. I hope the next one will be better.
Regards,
Nigio

Hi Nigio, wonderful image as usual. It's a lot of time I haven't seen you around. But it has been worth the waiting.
