Hi everybody,
In the first step,I want to disign some characters, I hope it will looks like an unknown race.
now, the first time sketch is the king and the follower.

[W-I-L]

not sure what you idea is... the follower suprised at the rulers choice of fashion? any great drawing and character expression is priceless.

[Gord-MacDonald]

ya - cool expression on the face & good body language on the servant - he reminds me of the star wars andriod C-3PO Gord

[Feline168]

Really dynamite shape and classical detail
can't wait to see the final piece

[AlonChou]

Thank you,
W-I-L: thank you for your kind words, they are refer to the Egypt style and MAYA,
I want to create a kind of another ancient race.

Gord-Macdonald: Thank you for the kind words about the expression, this is just the character design, I think when the composition finished, it will be more interesting.

YuChi: Thank you! you really encourage me!

the story was happened on the three main characters, the woman play a joke on the follower of the king. they will wear the dressing latter. and this is a part of the composition.

[AlonChou]

I try to sketch and concept the background.

This is my whole composition, the goddess run out of the wall-painting
back of the king, and she make fun of the follower, she is raising his hand and pouring the wine on the king's head, Obviously it frightened the follower, everybody run away, because they know that: he will die!

[AlonChou]

This is the feature of part composition, the goddess run out of the wall-painting
back of the king, and she make fun of the follower, she is raising his hand and pouring the wine on the king's head, Obviously it frightened the follower, others run away, because everybody know that: he will die!

[walrus]

Okay...! I 've been watching you uploading various character sketches but wasn't really sure how the whole thing was supposed to come together... and now I totally get it! Very cool! The expressions really make this picture, but especially hers. How mischievious! The only one really lacking a strong expression is the king. His mouth looks upset, but I can't tell what his eyes are doing. And if someone spilled something on your head, wouldn't you flinch, or look up, or glare or something? I would, but then, I'm not nobility.

You mentioned earlier about this being an unknown race. I think the costumes and architecture all support that :They look beleivable but not linkable to anything specific. However, the painting on the back wall feels very Egyptian to me... So Egyptian, in fact, that seeing it confuses me, because then I think "Wait, the rest of their outfits and their faces aren't Egyptian... Are they supposed to be Egyptian? Huh!?" Maybe something a with 37% less Egyptian, and about 24% more Mongolian and 5% more Chinesemight serve you better. :)

One last note - the man 2nd from the right looks like he's looking right at the ghost-woman. Just an idea, but it might be nice if he were looking slightly lower at the man pouring the drink... as though no one can see the ghost even though she's causing trouble. Or at least raising the question of whether anyone can see the ghost because we wouldn't be sure. Now it just seems like the ghost can be seen because of that one man's gaze, and there's a lot less mystery abotu why the drink is being spilled on the king.

Anyhow, now I'm really looking forward to more work on this, it's really terrific! Good luck!

[overcontrast]

wow looking really cool... i ema the expreassion on the slave's face is priceless... and also love the expression on the naughty ghost girl too... very imaginativ and interesting concept... the values are working very good... keep up the progress.. wanna c this finish!!

[paulwdavidson]

No crits......what will get the viewers attention is the expressions and the immediate action. You've obviously asked freinds to pose, because the facial anatomy is spot on for the expressions. It's looking as if it's going to be a lovely bit of work.

Paul

[nerdyninja]

wow this drawing is amazing! I love the expression on all their faces...all very convincing. The one of the servant cracks me up! Also you did a great job on the ghost as well...its seems like that would be hard to me. lol ANyway Love the concept and the drawing! :love:

[guterrez]

impressive work, one of my favorites so far
it`s such a perfect scene you built here, awesome to see your process

[Nuy]

great work!! i love your idea

keep up the good job!!:thumbsup:

[AlonChou]

Thank you guys! thank you for all your comment!

walrus:
wow, you are realy impressed me! you remembered what I mentioned about the unknown race!thank you for your detailed analyze, I appreciate that very much,it's very useful!

first, the wall painting is really not good, you are right, it's looks like so Egypt, and not sutible for whole of the picture,I 'll change that, because it's also not pretty.

the second, I am not sure about the kng's mouth what you mentioned, "upset"? you mean he looks too dispirited or ...? his eyes is looking up, maybe the pictur is not big enough, some thing can't be see clearly.

and you point a key point, one man's gaze on the woman, I think that's a mistake, in fact I want to let him to see the drink, I think the problem is on the angle of his head, I'll change it lightly lower. in my concept she can't be see, so that's why the slaves so astonished,afeard and not to know what to do. and everyone are the same.

concerning the " ghost", I am sorry about that, all you friends think she is a " ghost", actually, in my concept she is a "goddess" ha ha...... she always hide herself in the wall painting and she has some power of the kingdom, but at this time she want to run out of the wall and do something naughty, the wall painting should be her. but all my friends can't recognise that, I will improve that, ha ah..

anyway thank you for all your comment!

[Ferx]

Mr Alon Chou..... :eek: wooooww I love it !! great!! awesome expression for your characteres !:thumbsup: The servant expression capture really nice the "little error" moment :D and the "goddess" is lovely and wicked, cool mate!! Perhapas a bit more body lenguage on the king, when i first see the sketch i think he wants to take the "wine shower" :D Maybe raising her hands and turning the head to the servant, only a comment :) , again awesome work mate!! :beer:

[Jassar]

wow, your anatomic skills are amazing :thumbsup: , I really like your scene... very original.

Cheers!

[AlonChou]

Ferx: Thank you for your comment, I think you are right for the king,
maybe do some alter to his 's pose and the face's angle, it will be more vivid,
thanks!

[AlonChou]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13759/13759_1189355421_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13759/13759_1189355421_large.jpg)

hey guys:
I changed both the king and the servant's pose and faces, I think that will more vivid.

the king's facial expression is changed to look up more, and face turn left a little bit, his hand is holding a cup, because he want a drink, and he thought
he will get a cup of wine, but the bed thing happened....

the servant's facial expression is more scare, that's will let viewer feel that how bad is the situation.

[guterrez]

you`re really awesome in doing expressions, but even this new one looks great I liked this silent anger of the king more in the earlier version and also the servants face (I guess cause it was looking funnier and not so dead serious)
great job anyway, can`t wait to see your coloring for this piece
cheers

[AlonChou]

guterrez:
thank you for your comment, "silent anger "of th king, I think it's a good suggestion.

[Art2]

This is going to look goooood!
I also like the earlier expression of the king best, maybe exaggerate it a bit more, making him look more shocked, angry and surprised (bigger eyes maybe).
Anyway, I love it already! :)

[Ferx]

Hey AlonChou, I like a lot the new expression for the king, cool man!:thumbsup: Maybe the expressions for the servant in the early version is a bit funny, but both expression are great mate!
About the guterrez´s nice suggestion of "silent anger" for me the best reference is the "silent anger" of Hardy in the old old but great great movies of "Laurel & Hardy" :D , only a comment:)
Once again great and awesome work mate!! :beer:

[bao]

It's looking fantastic!
The anatomy of the servant pouring the drink is beautiful.
I don't know which of the king's expression I prefer, both have that comedic touch , but the first one is definitely more slap-stick comedy.
Lots of great work so far!

[Jeffparadox]

you've got great painting skills, obvious that its very natural to you. Also I like the humor in your concept. I'm really enjoying this thread..

[AlonChou]

Thank you all my friends!

I integrate all your comments, I think the pose and angle of the king first one is better,
but he have to be exaggerate and shocked a bit more,
and the first servent's face is more funny, I think I got a good conclusion from you!
Thank you mate! hope to hear more adivice form you, thanks!

[MichaelZHsee]

holy~didnt see this coming.nice and funny concept ,i really like the characters expression,ur exceptionally good in this:thumbsup:
dang~i wish i have time for the challenge,havent been updating mine for awhile..:P

nontheless,i will keep lurking into ur thread for more updates:)

[zweiDee]

Hey Alon

WoW, I love this. very powerfull Characters. I have just one little sugestion, maybe the lord break the cup, for display the angriness of the lord. anyway, fantastic idea and progress, one of my favorites. all the best!

[ashiataka]

Hi Alon, exciting concept and the application is very well done especially mimics are superp.
I'm watching the progress impatiently. Cheers!

[AlonChou]

Hey guys:

I let the king's face more shock and his eyes more big, not so anger as before,because that's happened in a very short time, at that moment I think he should be shock at the first, and that will be more funny.

and I add some scar on his face to make him not only anticly but also horrible, it have to let viewer feel that the most worst thing is happening.

I also alter the servant's face and pose, the face is more like the first one before, but more exaggerate than that. thank you mate!

[MatejaPetkovic]

This is realy excellent, great facial and body expressions.
Only one thing bothers me, what is servats hand doing above kings head, because glass is in front of servant?

Waithing for next update

Cheers

M

[AlonChou]

Mateja:
the servant want to pour wine for the king, king hold a cup for that, but the goddess make fun
of him, raising the servant's hand to pour wine on the king's head.

[walrus]

Alon - This is by far the funniest expression for the king so far. I laughed out loud when I saw it! :) The only thing I would worry about is that the now the kind is less threatening. He's more silly, less fearsome, and I find I'm not as worried about the fate of the servant the way I was in the first try. How do the other servants' shock work with this new face of the king's? We can't see them here.

I think the first pose (your post #24 & #25) was the best so far at conveying anger and threateningness, but it was a bit unrealistically stiff. In those earlier posts, he had something in his hand, a scepter or staff. What if you added something like that back in? He looks like a warrior-king... A giant sword in his hand could help him look menacing again, even with that shocked expression on his face. Anyhow, just an idea... I'm really enjoying watching your iterations on this! Good luck!

[Thaldir]

It is true that the king looks less fearsome in this specific moment, but who knows what could be in a minute's time? Their expressions are all magnificent, love both the king's shock and the goddess playfulness, and the servant's expression is perfect, IMO for someone who doesn't understand why his own hand is acting strangely.

In short... I love it and will definitely stay suscribed to your thread.

[guterrez]

every facial expression you created here is awesome, I think you have done something like a timeline; every piece shows a part of the few seconds it takes to pour the wine over the kings head
the last pic shows the very first moment, but your first version shows the king at the end of the process, when he`s really pissed of and crunches the cup because of his anger...that`s the coolest moment I think
hope you know what I mean, can`t describe it better^^
cheerio

[AlonChou]

Hi mate! thank you for all your comment!

Walrus:
I am glad that you laughed out loud of my work this time, concerning the kind is less threatening, it was really bother me, but I think his fearsome can be expression by other way, as you said just like put a sword beside him or other things, maybe the other servant's facail expression or pose will tell about how fearsome is this situation,even thiugh that's not easy, but I will try again. anyway if the pic will make people laughed and feel funny that's important for me.

Thaldir:
I think you are right, who knows what could be in a minute's time? before, I want him very anger, but considerate funny and at the first moment, I make him more shock, and thank you for you like all their expression, I realy do many effort for make them more lifelike, thanks Thaldir!

guterrez:
sure, I know what you mean! thank you for you mention about the "timeline",
and I will take more time to think over that.

[Art2]

Alon, maybe make the left eye smaller and looking more angry. The eyes are both the same size. Maybe this helps making the King more fearsome. A sword would help too, or a mummyfied chopped off head at his feet... heheh :D

[kayness]

I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the facial expression and the movement! i will look through the thread more thoroughly later,

[nerdyninja]

I think the servants expression is perfect! The kings is getting there I would agree that it should look a bit more angry. I would do what Art2 suggested about making the one eye smaller then the other as in closed more like he has a twitch..lol and maybe he could be crushing the glass in his hand as this is happening? That way he still has a look of shock but also anger.


Other then that perfect!:eek:

[octopus7]

I think the facial expression are just right and to me it seems that the poor servant, is bound for a world of pain once his master recovers from the initial shock. Great work so far.:thumbsup:

[guero]

Hi Alon, I must say badass. One thing with timing,have the drink end the flowing on his cheek. Other than that awesome. Her being a ghost vs human makes things more interesting.
Good luck.

[dagoth2001]

Superb !!! that's an excelent piece of work:thumbsup:... :applause:

[Ferx]

Hey Alon, hahahahahahahahahahah, great expression mate, really fantastic!! :applause: I think that is a cool comedy touch, and the strange behavior was mainteined perfectly, really great!!
Awesome work like always!! Cheers!! :beer:

Thank you for your comments!
now this is the sketch, there are two kinds of the king,

on the left : two eyes size are defferents, one eyes bigger than the other,
and he hold a big hammer. hold one weapon is a good idea, but I have to change the others'position
for put the weapon in the picture.

on the right: he just hold a cup, and want a drink, his eyes are both big,
I thik this kind if facial expression is more shock, I prefer this one face.

[AlonChou]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13759/13759_1189761582_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13759/13759_1189761582_large.jpg)

I draw all the other servants, they must looks very shock and scare, because they don't know why he
poul drink on the king's head, and they smell the worst thing is coming.
I haven't let them wear the clothes yet.

and at this time i put two weapons behind the king's chair, to make him more
fearsome instead holding the weapons on his hand.

[guero]

Definitely go with the one on the left, different eye sizes makes it more comical also him holding the hammer makes him more fearsome. One more thing the size of the servants on the back should be tinny bit shorter than the guy spilling the drink. Also see if making the king bigger will improve things.

Nice.

[Thaldir]

All in all I prefer the one on the right (eyes of the same size) it has more 'shock' to me, it is also more 'it is just happening' in my opinion.

I noticed just now the little heads on the king's costume, that is enough to make him quite scary, I think.
The weapon is awesome, but it will be better somewhere in the room, IMO.:thumbsup:

[shattered-fx]

Hey Alon! this is really good tonal painting! Reminds me of my favorite master MIAN SITU ! I really admire also the way you make the lights and shading..doesnt matter either left or right pose you make, I think both are equally good IMO..

-Raffy

[walrus]

Of the two king sketches, I like the one with the eyes of equal size. But I DO like the pose with the weapon in it (which should come as no surprise as I suggested it!) I don't like the weapns behind the throne as much: First, they're less connected to the king, and seocndly,. they make that area harder to read compositionally. And that's the most important part of the image: The Goddess causing the Servant to pour a drink on the King's head. Adding unneccesary details like sword blades there just makes that area too busy and harder to read, compared to the toher tests you've done. Anyhow, just my 2 cents. Good luck!

[guterrez]

hey Alon, walrus has a good point there
I really love the overall composition, the characters are great and full of life ( and fear muahaha )
show us some colors now^^

[maykrender]

When we can see this piece in colour? ;) Anyway, it's already looks preety.

[Donglu-LittleFish]

I really love the expressions that you have put on your characters. What makes it so special and intriguing is the piece is very "story-telling" oriented!

[NinjaA55N]

So beautiful concept, funny and very strange behavoir. One of my favorites here in this challenge. I also like weapons to be in his hand, not so much at the back where they r hard to read and r confusing while fighting for attention, while clearly the main point should be spilling hand. Best of luck to finish this piece as it should be!

[Sovica]

Beautiful!

This is a great idea and you made it work wonderfully through all the amazing expressions.

Great job!

Keep it up =)

[Ferx]

Hey Alon, great work mate! I like a lot the overall composition and the comedy tone of your image, obtained very well, awesome ! ( the servant hugging to another one, is cool!! hahahaha... :D nice!!! ) Perhaps instead of a glass, the king must have a wine cup or a sort of chalice, only a comment :) . Great great work mate!! Cheers!! :beer:

[dinodog-jr]

alon,

This is going to be a very good expressive artwork after "You Cheat" artwork. This one haf alot of interesting consequences. You are very sensitive in human reaction & expression.

You left out a wide imagination to the viewer. It really gives me this servant is gonna faces a serious punishment through all the shocking expression on everyone in the room.

So thoughtful in this piece~.

It matches the challenge tittle perfectly. Its rare to see successful funny concept in Cgtalk challenge.

Love the Godness expression alot. It grabs my attention when my first glance lay on this artwork.

Couldn't imagine how much i will love a color version!

[nwiz25]

yup yup .. i agree! :eek: me too cant wait to see this full colour! :p woooooohoooooo!!
i've seen ur work dude .. and man was i blown away by the optimus prime masterpiece! superb!!! :thumbsup::buttrock:

this most certainly will reach to the highest level!

good luck dude! :thumbsup: cheers! :beer:

[AlonChou]

Thank you all mates!

your suggestion are very useful, I appreciate that very much!
and I hope I can coloring this soon after altered some details by you of this work,

good luck mate!

Alon

[BloodTaster]

wow, amazing piece! Looking foward to see in colours :drool:

Hey guys:
Thank you for your great suggestion, thye are useful,
at this time, I change the wall painting for a goddess, and make the king with a weapon, and altering all the servant's pose and face including the pouring guy.

I hope this is the last time of the b/w piece, thank you for your viewing.

[Jassar]

Man your good! that's all what I have to say :eek:

[Art2]

Those two guys on the far right are hilarious :D
Lovely background painting, maybe a bit soft for a fearless king... but then again, what would have happened if it were the God of death, or erm, love... heh

:)

[DanielCseuz]

Very original idea! I like the expression and the lighting is great! Good luck.

[musi]

That's excellent painting!
Specially love the playfulness of the playing goddess!

Just wonderful!
:thumbsup:

[AlonChou]

thank you guys,
I apreciate your comment very much!

[sadrack]

Hi Alon

Is really great illustration, nice composition and very good use of space, i want to add only one little think for your consideration, maybe all the character (male) are look with the same kind of face and physical structure like a clone, maybe if this amazing illustration have variety in the character you know more personality character like fat, evil, etc, i guess this add something, is off course only a feel, the work are really amazing man.



S.

[AlonChou]

Thank you sadrack;
your suggestion is nice, maybe add some change for personality character is good, thanks!

hey guys,
this is the first time for coloring the basic tone. then I will polish it with paint by paint. or maybe change the colors.thannks.

[nerdyninja]

wow the colors are awesome! Lighting looks really good! I love it! The color is really bringing out the piece! :love:

[plasteredcat]

Great piece! I specially like the faces and body language... fantastic!

[NinjaA55N]

damn u! This image simply rocks! I wont be a smart ass so just keep going and do what u do best :)

[nwiz25]

you know wat ... :eek: i think we have a winner! :eek:

go go go dude!:buttrock: this is sheer brilliance! :applause:

[Peter-Eriksson]

Very good coloring and lightning, like it!
/peter

[gpepper]

Just amazing !
Very funny too, we can imagine the step after...

[handlebar]

There is so much tension and antisipation in the body language of your characters, a great frame in time and nicely balenced work. Fantastic.

[Ferx]

Hey Alon, really great lighting mate, i like a lot !!:thumbsup: ( I think the bull gods statues trim a bit the composition and cause a lost of some "air" and deep on the city and background, perhaps the statues a bit far from the "royal room", only a comment :) )
Again, great work mate!! Cheers!! :beer:

[Art2]

OK, everytime you post something new, I'm going to tell you how amazing you are... :D

You're amazing.

[AlonChou]

Thank you all my friends!

I appreciate all your comments, and thanks Ferx for the "air" and "a bit far', I will.

thank you mate!

[guterrez]

you are a incredibly talented badass man, this picture will get epic^^
cheers

[NinjaA55N]

now that Im looking at ur imag eagain an again (yea, its that good :)) I found two things to comment. The first is, that I find face expression of the poor slave guy much beeter from one of ur previous steps (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13759/13759_1189530067_large.jpg), much more terrified, scared and real. I hope u could put it back coz it would add to the whole impression very much. The other thing are light spots in the first plan (on characters, on the floor, etc) which are white and overburned. I hope they will be more yellow at the end and not so strong/light. That too will add much more realism to the image.
Just my two cents :) best of luck!

[Vamyen]

Amazing work, the image just keeps getting better and better.

It has already been said but the lighting, body language and face expressions are very well done.

Your work is very inspirational.

[Thaldir]

Alon, your work stuns me everytime I see it...:thumbsup:

The only problem I see with it, from the level of your 'first coloring' is that, very likely, people seeing the painting would think you are at a way more advanced stage, and point out things you haven't really touched yet...:)

and now I think I'll go and hide somewhere. ;)

[AlonChou]

Thank you all mate!http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/icons/icon7.gif

NinjaA55N: thank you for your comment, about the poor slave guy, it really bothered me for a while, and you point out it, maybe it will better for make it much more terrified, and scared,

Hi guys!

this time I only polished the pouring guy servant and the king, and I think they should be almost finished,
I changed the servant's facial expression to more scare and shock, Thanks for NinjaA55N's suggestion,
and I polished whole of the king, including the pouring wine, and I add the colored drawing on his brow,
the wine dissolve it and make it pouring down, that will make the situation more bad, there are many things
not polished yet.

thanks mate!

[MROGER]

What can I say, I like all the picture, expressions, lighting, composition, just gorgeous :thumbsup:

[Art2]

You're amazing.

:D:D

I don't know about his right shoulder. Looks a bit too round and artificial, it really sticks out. Maybe it's the tattoo making it look that way.
Really nice skintones.

[digital-bobert]

That's looking great Chou!
Very funny and nicely painted!

[Essen]

I love the realistic rendering of your picture! It has this kind of classic painting feeling to it!
And the expression of the servant is just so great!

[ashiataka]

Hi Alon, that's one of your best painting. Watching the progress is great. Cheers!

[nerdyninja]

wow! Wonderful job!

[Hiun]

Alon... you just do your thing like you always do!:thumbsup: Magnificent execution!

[Ferx]

Hey Alon, again, how can i say?? :D that is awesome my friend!! I love your lighting, really cool !! ( Perhaps a redish tone for the wine, I know you are polishing your painting, only a comment :) ) Again like always superb work ! Cheers!! :beer:

[nwiz25]

dude! you're on higher ground man! :eek: your latest update is really picking up clarity and realism! my respects to you! :love: :bowdown:

[guterrez]

your painting style is really an inspiration and the lightning on the kings face and body is just perfect, very well done
but I have to agree with Art2 about his right shoulder; I think it seems a bit strange because on the left the shoulder "bulbs" (not sure if this word exists^^) out and on the right is this very huge bizeps which looks for me also a bit ball-like
no other crits than that, the servants face is also great; even he`s more shocked now I think he makes the scene funnier than ever
be proud, you`re my absolute favorite in this challenge ;p
cheers,
Mathias

[rblitz7]

Jesus fricken christ!!! this is awesome!:eek: Amazing job man. So do you find it best to paint in black and white first then go over with color?

[AlonChou]

Thank you all mates!

Art2, guterrez: thank you for your comment, I think you are right about the shoulder,
it's looks a bit too round, and maybe the tatoo cause that, thanks I will fix the
problem ^^.

Ferx: thank you, I know you suggest me to let the wine more clarity, I also think that
is a little problem.

nwiz25: thank you dude! you always spirit up me!


rblitz7: yes I used to do the b/w painting first, then color it. for
make sure whole the composition.

[patrickdeza]

incredible! well done alon, i really love the expressions you painted on their faces, and the gesture. and the painting style is neat too :)

good luck

[DavidSmit]

Haha great work!, love the expression on the servants face! :)
Maybe put some more work in the feet and the lower legs of the servant. There not really on the floor yet imho. Other than that, great job!

[Hideyoshi]

If this one doesn't win anything, I don't know...


seriously.

Congratulations for your work your control of the anatomy and the
lights make you large of realistic painting.:applause:

Excellent, excellent work my friend. Those expressions are brilliant, especially the guy pouring the water. Perfect!

Great skin colours too! Kep up the good work.

At this time, I polished the goddess,

[guterrez]

argh what have you done?! technically its great but I loved her old face, the expression and attitude was perfect for me

now a few minutes later I calmed down and looked a second time^^
I can`t point it out exactly but something is disturbing me in the nose-mouth section and also one eye is a bit higher than the other one
sorry for that much crit but I guess she charmed me in some way which is also a compliment for you in the end ;)
cheers,
Mathias

[Jeffparadox]

uhmmm, sorry man, but I think I agree with guarretz. She looked perfect and beautiful to me before. Don't mean that she doesn't look good rite now, but there was something about her before that was just right...

[kikomunar]

Hi Alon, your work is very inspiring! I'll bet this one will be in the finals! Although I agree with Mathias about the change in the godesses face ( I kinda like the former one myself too) I figured maybe you have a good reason to do so.

[Art2]

I don't know.. don't change the face back to the old one yet. We need to see how the new face fits in the overall picture.
The old face was one of a mischievous goddess, one that is pulling pranks all the time.
The new one looks like it's the first time she's doing something like that, and not sure if she's doing it right, but certainly enjoys doing it.

oh yeah you're amazing, heheh...

[walrus]

Beautiful, beautiful work, Alon! I love all fo the details and lighting and it's really nice to see everything up close. I'm really looking forward to your completed piece, as all fo the parts right now look fantastic...

That being said, I too thought that the goddess's face was more effective before you "tidied it up." She looked more like she was playing a practical joke earlier: The smile was broader and more mischievious, and the the eyes we're more closed (with her left eye even moreso) - was a sly, knowing smile, whereas now she looks more tentative and less impish. Sorry, but I'm in complete aggreement with Mathias on this one! :shrug:

[Thaldir]

I agree that the first version of the goddess had a more mischievous expression, but either one works for me.
As always, I'm in awe of your lights, II think I'll be studying them for quite a while.

Hope you had a very good Double Ten Day. :)

[NinjaA55N]

Yes man.. please bring her old face back :) I know its sometimes frustrating to polish something and than u see that u lost the previous raw and strong shape.. but sometimes that works best.

[Matellis]

This is an amazing painting. One of the best no doubt!
I would have to agree with the others about the face as well. This one looks great but the other one had some great express, perfect for this piece.

Keep up the great work :D

Cheers!

[AlonChou]

Thank you all mate!

I think you are right, it's rare to see that all you have the same view, it's means this problem is really clearly, I will change that, thank you!

[Kei-Acedera]

Oh man, you done it!--I love this piece--its truly funny and beautiful painting! can't wait to see it finished!

[plasteredcat]

Simply stunning! I'm not too bother by the goddess new face, but to be true the last one had that naughty expression that rounded perfectly this impressive piece...

[laurentino]

This work is beautiful!
Amazing.

but i have to say
i like the first girl expression more.
it gave her a funnier expression ..... like ... she is doing this just for fun .... and she is enjoying it a lot!
i'm sorry ... i can't explain in english exactly what i want to say .... hope you understand.

but anyway ..... this painting is amazing!
:applause:

hey guys,
I changed the goddess again, make her face and expression like the old version, thanks mate!

[guterrez]

oh yes, this fits to the scene like the kings fist to the servants eye^^
great work mate

[Ordibble-Plop]

This really is a fantastic picture and a subtle take on behaviour and control.

If there is one small thing that confuses my eye it is the overlap between the right hand/arm of the servant pouring the wine (the hand under the tray) and the arm/hand of the servant at the back left. They seem to overlap and run into one another. It is very minor, but I had to work a little at first to separate them.

Good luck for the finish.

[SteevieWoo]

Hey amazingly well composed scene! I can believe how easy to read it is having such a big amount of detail on it! I always have trouble with that.......

I have to thank you for going back to the previous Goddess face, she's so pretty! and helps to leave clear that she doesn't do that only because she can, but because she haves so much fun at it!

In the end all the actions and all three main characters meet at that little space over King's head, and is so balanced..... I love how easily she submits the servant's arm.

Really great stuff, Alon!

Hey guys,

Thank you Thaldir and Hiun,

I changed the color tone and some details of the background again,
and I recognize that, show in this page the king's faial expresson
and face hase some different to the large size, because the pixel is not big enough
, so it's be a little out of shape here, and the background I think I will polished some thing,
and some details..

Excellent Alon, i am speechless. I followed your wip, and this is best work i've seen so far.

Amazing work, Alon! :eek: Such a 'traditional' detailed painting and yet so funny: that gives it an amazing quality! I have respect that you got the guts to paint 7 characters on such high detail. The lighting is also very accurate and dynamic: well done!

[walrus]

I wish I had something useful to contibute, some peice of helpful constructive criticism to add... but to be perfectly honest, I hardly see anything that needs fixing. There are a few places ion the very bottom where the King's platform seems to float above the floor rather than resting on it, and a few more shadows on the floor by the base could help anchor it to the gorund a bit more. But after staring at this for a while, that's all I could come up with. I'm not sure what else you need to do aside from submitting it, but it's looking reeeeeealy good. :thumbsup:

[gpepper]

Excellent stuff Alon ! I think this is the hugest thing of the illustration forum ! Many characters, full of realism and humor !

[NinjaA55N]

Awesome piece! I would think about bringing back some of those blue tones in the background, to make the depth of the image more expressive. Right now u "flattened" it a bit. And it would work great with first plan I guess, since u already have some blue in there as well. Submit the final! :)

Wow, so you're finally done! This piece is fantastic: From the expressions and anatomy to the masterful lighting and subtle world design that infuses every aspect of the image. It perfectly fits the theme, it's very funny, and is perfectly painted: It's everything I would ever look for in a painting. Enjoy your well-earned Boxx workstation! I am normally loath to proclaim "winners" before the judging takes place, but I cannot conceive of any piece in this Challenge or even not in the challenge that comes even close to touching what you've accomplished here. It's been enjoyable to watch it take place, and is my favorite piece by you so far. (In fact, I'd probably go as far as to say one of my favorite paintings ever, not just by you.) Congratulations!

oh, and p.s. - thank you again for going back to the original Goddess expression! :)

it's difficult to recognize what had be changed, but I upload again. it always many little details must be polished. I smoothed one guy's border edge.

The servant was terrified and didn't know why this happened and what to do, the others terrified too and hurried to get out of the way, because they knew -- he is dead for sure....

Sad not to see you at the top of the winners.
But you don't need this to be the artist you are !

[walrus]

With all due respect to Mathias and Bobby, whose pieces were excellent, I am nonetheless stunned that you didn't win this Challenge. But like Morano said, for me you were always the indisputable #1 piece. Well done (again) and hope you'll be around for the next challenge, it was fun having you here.

the quality of your work definately made myself working harder
cheers man, can`t wait for the next challenge with you

This image blows me away - from the brilliant concept, to that masterly execution. All the expressions are so subtly different, it brings a big smile to my face and I laughed out loud when I first saw it. The winking goddess face is so mischievous.

I can feel super-volcanic anger bubbling up in the king! Haha I want to fastforward five seconds into the image and watch :P (Only if I get to be transparent like the goddess though haha!)
