[Chien1977]

[Mohd]

Its looking really good, I like the character design, textures lighting Overall the whole job. well done my friend. keep it up:thumbsup:

[JoaoRibeiro]

I really like your lighting! Great detaiL! great mood! Congratulations

[chokata]

it's stunning :surprised

[nekro]

awesome as always man! your work is amazing! :beer:

[walrus]

Scary! And scary good, too! Love the warm/cool contrast, and the little bits of warm light touching on the character and giant columns. Lovely character and weapon design too. The only part that doesn't work for me personally are the hands. Given how inhuman the rest of him is - the spikey arms, the multiple eyes, the large toothy mouth - it feels incongruous to me to see such human-shaped fingers. It might have been nice to exaggerate them more too. But just a little quibble - overall, a stupendous work. Nice job!

[AlonChou]

hi congrat for the CGP,
this piece is so powerful , great job you did!
cheers mate,

Alon

[psoszynski]

[MichaelZHsee]

outstanding piece mate.nice detail and love the mood.i like the character alot:scream:

[hyure]

great charecter,very interesting.nice detail

[GaeasHerald]

Excellent character and lovely colours too. At a first glance I thought this was 3D. Congrats mate!

[Syran]

breath taking, love character, mood everything. Only crit, I think cloubs react difrent on strong light example (http://www.bushveld.co.za/pictures-of-clouds/cloud6.jpg) . But I understand if you would have wanted to avoid this kind of effect. Great piece!

[Ishtar]

superb character! this creature is very realistic, work on her skin and light are superb!
Cheers !!! :applause:

[Muad-Dib]

Fantastic! I like cold / warm contrast between background and the creature, the strenght in his ARMS, design of his face... Extraordinary volumetric details concidering its handpainting Photoshop... My respect!

[Brashen]

Great work as usual!!

[hatebardsong]

It's great and all that, beautiful colors and light...

But the design reminds me (a little to much) of your portrait of satan, with a touch of Lord of the Rings...

My 2 cents of critic.

But all in all... great work.

[Lexalotacus]

Incredible... The balance of Yellows and oranges into the blues is just beautiful... Amazing concept and delivery, I would give you 8 stars if I could... Hits home for me.

[Dc5RAGE]

that is awesome

[nwiz25]

stunning! :eek: :applause: love the spikey skin layer! awesome sss rendering too! :eek:
5* all the way! :buttrock:

[OneToe]

it's a haagensen, definitely. appreciate your style.

BUT i see a lack of innovation, of new ideas. wie attested the perfection of this style in light, atmosphere, feeling (andsoon) for "the wicked (http://features-temp.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/273116/273116_1199823173_large.jpg)" already - and so it seems this new piece has been elected for frontpage for similar achievements. in my eyes this halves the value of both awards.
on the other hand it's great to see that your style is so unique and consequent, every new piece will prove it. ;)

no offence, i'm just a disillusioned fan.

[Sarford]

Wow, great image, I love the lighting of the piece, very nice!

[LuisNCT]

That's great, congratulations

[reviresco]

very cool, I love your brush style - great texture - great concept

Jim

[Fatarion]

Great work... mayve one day I'll become this good!!!

[PavelSokov]

Excellent! love the complicated texture his body has!
I see a few influences from the game Dark Messiah in the dragon in the back, am i correct?
its a great game i find.

[evengi]

Det her var skikkelig bra! Fin stemning i bildet, blir spesiellt imponert med tanke på at alt er laget i ps!

Roger

[Babylonia]

Great work man.. congratulations!

[carnalizer]

Great pic. But since I am a party pooper, I'd need some highres or process pics to buy in to "handpainted from scratch". Is that possible?

[shadowseve]

Great painting skills. Really Great work on that I love the design and feel of character and the weapon.

[pOiNtPuShEr]

What a great design. Wonderful execution as well!

[nofounture]

good work,i love your painting

[shtl]

Same as above: beautyfull execution indeed, but especially an exelent design! From head to fingers as well as for the accessories.

Congrats, and thanx for sharing :)

excellent work, nice composition, great character design, and I don't know him because, but I remember the lord of the rings, perhaps of the dragon in the back, or the climate of the illustration.

[MonkeyManDon]

really love the style and how intense it is to look at. There is a lot of excitement in this piece. I love the effects and the way you captured a contrast between the dark sky and the highlight on the main character. The dragon flying looks amazing!!!

Truly amazing. How long did this take to do btw?

[orgcgs]

and Jean Francois? :bowdown:

[AssassinCrow]

excellent work and great character design 5*

[GarenMuln]

The lighting adds so much to the story you create with this picture. Besides the amazing detail and character design, the way you made the background really pulls you into this world.

btw, the dragon in the background totally rocks!!!
