Title: The Great Escape
Name: Tomasz Jedruszek
Country: Poland
Software: Photoshop
This is a sequel of my "winter blockade". The task was to fit that famous image to a book cover which would require rather drastic changes to its composition and I was little afraid if that would not kill the atmosphere of "Winter Blockade" .I decided to keep "winter blockade" as my personal collection and create another scene almost from a scratch ,with a bit different composition and scale . The book cover was also filled with a character in front , therefore the left side of this image had to remain almost empty. Once the image been used I felt a little dissapointed of form it went out to the world . So I decided to give it alternate ending . I did painted a dinghy and a secret agent inside escapeing from the sea blockade useing a battle as cover .

Fabulous work! I loved your Winter Blockade as well, and I think it's great that you decided to do a sequel. I really love the colour palette and the way you've painted the waves. The reflections of the fire in the water are particularly nicely done, because of the way they introduce some warmer tones into the lower half of the image. I also really like the way you painted blurry splashes of ocean spray in the foreground - that's a really nice little touch. Really great work from you again.
Plugged!

Another masterpiece as usual! :)
Indeed, I love the dynamic style and interesting palette as well. Actually I like this work more that the earlier one - here are some noticeable improvements as it were. Great lighting and the touch of reddish tones was a brilliant idea!
I also like the idea of this agent story-line in this paint, but I'd rather chose a different pose for the woman. She seems too calm and classy even though the given circumstances. Therefore the foreground elements don't seem so coherent to the background parts - like a later addition to the concept, as a matter of my opinion...
How long did it take to execute this paint for you?
Keep it up and congratz' for the FP! :thumbsup:

If this is a collage then maybe I'm being over critical...
But the image has 3 focal points that do not mix to me.
1) The large waves in the background
vs.
2) The naval battle
vs.
3) A row boat with two somewhat relaxed looking people.
I like your art work, but the composition and action do not fit well.
Can you really have a sea battle in a massive storm, and can you row a boat in a massive storm without being tied down? And wouldn't the woman be stricken with fear, and holding on for dear life?
These are just questions... A friendly critique, I'm not trying to be an ass, better to ask about percieved flaws then to ignore them.

This is really a splendid piece of work Tomasz. Are you familiar with the work of Geoff Hunt?
The only crits I have is:
1. As previously mentioned in this thread, the lady looks like she's enjoying a lovely Sunday afternoon on a calm lake.
2. The gentleman rowing the boat is facing the wrong way (must be a landlubber?). Very hard to row a boat facing forward especially in such seas.
3. The jolly boat doesn't look quite symmetrical. Very difficult to steer an asymmetrical boat :)
The warships and sea are very well done though!
Thats a really nice painting!
The woman seems really out of place though. She seems way to calm considering she might be thrown overboard by the next big wave! hehe

You did great job Tomasz! So stylish and perfect technique! It would need some more work on concept and details as others mentioned before, but it looks great as it is!

love your use of colors and the battling firgates...forground diny and figures are very nice...I am a little taken back by the huge seas you set them in...the wave on the horizon beyond the ships is of such size as to destroy everything in its path.. tone down the seas to realistic levels.
