Title: Fire and Ice
Name: Karolina Wegrzyn
Country: Poland
Software: Painter

Done for [pb-event] Opposites at [pixel brush] forums. I always wanted to paint this image, the event forced me to do it earlier than I would. Still it's not exactly what I saw in my mind, so I'll paint it again in the future.

Close up (I prefer it over the whole image):

the colors, brushstorkes and the symmetry are really nice, reminds me of some of the old futurist stuff like boccioni's.

Thank you all for comments, I'm glad you like it :)

Fireantz, that must be true in some way to all of us.

the details must have taken you loads of time Karolina. The fire looks really realistic.

Thank you Kay, details have taken long, I got lost in them. They could be more and less detailed the same time, I still can't catch the right balance of details vs general vision.
Glow brush in Painter was very helpful here, all the advice on fire I've found at [pb] has helped. But I had to do it my way anyway ;)
Since I saw the way Cris altered it for me at Epi I am sure now I need to paint it again one day, it's not that image anymore.

You Know? it could be great if for the next 'Fire and Ice' you represent the ice as male and the fire as female, that way you'd have the two pictures to complement each other. Anyway this one is very good in the effects, yet, what you say about the scale of the effects and level of detail (As with Maedhros hair) is true, so I guess you're already very aware of how you can improve it, and that's very good. Remeber not to zoom-in to much :)

Good stuff!:thumbsup:
