[Yone]

nice concept.

Keep sketching and keep it to an inhuman look.

[DefiledVisions]

Nice to see another demon prince!

Sweet sketches so far! I like the puppeteer approach to the bottomright, also enjoy the 'cherub riding a monster' design! haha, looking forward for more ;)

[Ataulfo]

Nice start.

Bartoldi- Beautyful drawing. Can`t wait to seeing more...
Hurry up and good luck.

[sachinCG]

hi, I like your sketches, it very nice, Demon sketch good i like it

[DanielCortes]

you can tell what an artist is really made out of by there sketches, I just love that good old fashion pencil work, it's so lose yet with intense personality. my humble opinion is that, you should look for some contrast between rider and beast and the limbs of the beast. Maybe the back ones can be shorter and thicker or the other way around, mainly pushing the general design will give this character more personality than it already has. great work once again, I wish I could do that kind of sketching. big hug amigo :beer:

[Matys]

this is simple great stuff, i really hope you can pull this off and finish it on time. gl man!

[GregStrangis]

YES!! That is wicked! Nothing is cooler then a mutated baby cupid riding an even more mutated creature. I do like the creature from the earlier sketch that he or she was riding with the several sets of arms. I am def going to keep my eye on this thread!

[Barryxu]

beautiful sketches! Especially the pet, I thought it was the prince~You are quite good at drawing, I just can't wait to see more

[Bartoldi]

still looking for new ideas :)

wow, nice sketches!

[QuantumPixel]

I love the young child proportions yet with the evil sinister high intelligence factor coming through and on top of it all you can see the cold evil hart that lies within. Beautiful, lets see some final rendered images... get er done.

[Chachi]

[GregStrangis]

That last update looks wicked cool! Maybe blow the demon baby heh and his pet up a little more as right now he isn't the focal point as much as he should be. Just my 2 cents, This is def going somewhere tho!!!

[NavigatorJones]

Goodlord this is stunning, this is what i've wanted to see! hurrah! XD!!!

[CENOBITE]

beautiful stuff. I'm enjoying the classical, painterly look of this one.

[DarkBlueArt]

Hello

that little ugly bastard makes me shiver. Great work so far. Really strong design. I would play a bit with colours. At the monent it is very brownish overall, maybe you want to add some darker or blue tones.

so long

[DanielCortes]

this will be incredible, after cheeking out your Portfolio I'm sure this will be one hell of a pic, and I agree you need to focus the attention of the viewer more on your character. all the best! :beer:

[BaronImpossible]

Those sketches are very impressive. Interesting to see how it will translate to colour - looking a bit dark at the moment but I guess that's because it's very early on (and I'm in a very bright room!)

[Bartoldi]

Thx guys for comments.
I know I need to work with the color, I have always problems with this :)
but now it is not my biggest problem, I have some doubts about my main character.
Which character should I choose : evil child :) or man in the hood :) ?
I wonder what you think.
Thx

[DarkBlueArt]

Hello

well, my personal preference is defintely the child. Man with the hood is well, spooky and so on, but very much standard (before scary children with long black hair were "in" (ring etc.) it were spooky man with hoods (scream, halloween, etc.). But this little bastard you created has something special on him. Although he should be cute and nice, he isn't. And this is what interests me on this concept. Just my 2 cents.

so long

[Soggyclog]

Very nice work, I have a feeling it'll turn out beautifully.
PS.: love your style!

[Bartoldi]

The idea of something coming out of the tarry muck falling from the floating being is very sexy indeed. A human though? Unless you really want it to be a human, i'd change it to something crazy and twisted buddy, otherwise, neat job.

[Bartoldi]

Maan.. This is too much! :p You just comfirmed the feeling i had about my own final paint, mine sucks.. :/ But i guess it's not finished either..

I love your designs.. And the final image looks stunning so far. The only thing that comes to mind is that the mount and character looks quite closed in and is not helping the flow and depth that the creatures behind it create. It also feels like the flow is stopped where the two characters backs meet, its like a line has been drawn from top to bottom there. I think you should focus more energy to create the same flow and doing something interesting with your main character becouse the creatures behind it is so gourgeous i cant rip my eyes from them. Maybe work with some more contrasts, background vs character or so.. Keep it up, i bet its gonna be awesome!

[MR]

looks great. New deadline is may 18th (http://www.gameartisans.org/dominancewar/homepage/index.php). -->
Still a lot of time! keep up the good work:beer:

[GaeasHerald]

I don't know how I've missed this one. Your style Bartoldi is beyond awesome, it reminds me of Kev Walker's paintings. Good luck!

[syrez-one]

wow, great style here.. the mood is awesome! although i don't like the new mirrored version as much as the old one.. the focus on the right seems more attractive to me..

all the best 2 u, sure one of the bests around here!

[NavigatorJones]

This style is so cool, like digital pencil work XD! I agree with Syrez though, I think the previous composition with them coming from the left is more natural, as the eye reads things left to right for most things anyway.

[illuzionizt]

Amazing work :thumbsup:

[FedDark]

I love colors and style! you roooock! :buttrock:
