Hi there,

im loving this piece so much and your detail is really starting to come out that I had to give you some positive critiques about it. Sorry for drawing over your piece but this is what I saw as an artist. Myself likes to also exagerate form etc. But what I saw was just an issue of perspective. I noticed the chest area, either the closer pectoral muscle or the farther one needs to be changed for that angle. Wether you go bigger or small is up to you, I drew a cylinder pointing that out. Also around the mid section, have the musle follow along the path so its more rounder in perspective, as well as less of the left abdomen would be shown. Lastly the left arm, just elongate it a little for its a little shorter then the right arm, and either rotate that hand or do something with it, I did a quick composite of an option. Again sorry for drawing over your piece, but when I saw your update I thought I could be of service and try to make your great piece that much better.Its up to you to change anything :shrug: . Great work none the less.

Wow, thanks for the advice man. I had to look at it for a while before I saw what you meant, but I´ll try fixing it today. Update coming soon :)

[Rey]

This is looking good I like the detail on the helmet and skin.

[Balur]

Another update. Did some of the things you guys suggested, and as you see I´ve started to add some other stuff in there.

man you rule! :thumbsup:

[Razorwolf]

I would leave the background out. Great work on the main char :)

[Balur]

Thank you. The backround is actually just a scetch, I am going to colour it just like the main character. I´m also going to work more on the smoke-thingy, not happy with it right now.

[SEL]

:), hey there, nice update. though im going to have to agree about the background. Maybe if you have reference, find pictures of the old roman empire, and have him within a dark structure with the style of roman art on stone or something. Pillars anything. I think your character is great by himself. Also maybe extend the piece to show a great background.. Just my 2 cents.

SEL:thumbsup:

[Razorwolf]

SELs idea is great :). But of course, you decide. I would prefer no persons in the background.

[Balur]

I suddenly seem to be out of time, I was going to do alot more with this. I´ve just been really busy and I´m going out of town tomorrow so I had to finish this tonight (hadn´t done anything since the other update). Well here it is, the last update. Hope you like it.

And here is the story:
It´s an RPG adventure game set in a world of gods. You play a viking god battling demons and other forces of evil in order to save the world.

[Sorry for the lame story. But like I said, I ran out of time :)]

[Aelius]

:eek:Wow, this has really come to life. It's one of the best I've seen so far - either 2D or 3D. Reminds me of Slaine.

You wouldn't be a Simon Bisley fan, would you?

Great work. :eek:

[Balur]

Thank you :)

No, I must admit I don´t know anything about Simon Bisley. But I´m checking some of his stuff out right now and I really like it.
