Master and Servant 2D Entry: Arto Mikkola

#43

Hi ElFuego,

I just wanted to say that your latest update looks absolutely great to me! I really like what you have accomplished there. That mask on masters face gives really sci-fi look to the picture…well I am not sure sci-fi is really a good word to that impression it gives to me, but anyways…it’s not from this world…at least not right now…hmm I’d better stop finding right words here :slight_smile:

Anyway, you really give me inspiration and maybe I’ll take part to this challenge or the next one?!

Good luck with your painting!

Hiya again Arto,

Wow the latest image compaired to the image before is a vast improvment and so dramatic, potentual masterpiece :applause:

#45

Excellent! I love the composition. It will be a lot of fun to see how you paint the light comming through the angels wings. Can’t wait!

#46

What if…what if …what if he was holding a glowing cross and then the angel had a glowing cross around his neck signifying the control aspect of the Master/Servent !!

Anyways nice work cant wait to see the end results !!

#47

hi!

i am absolutely loving this comp :slight_smile:

keep going!

#48

Another comp. And another way to aproach the theme. Kinda like this one but I think I’ll do the one before this…the crusade theme :slight_smile:

#49

WAHAHAH! Man oh man… i’m really happy i’m not you! haha… 'cause i would never been able to decide which of the concepts you’ve done to use in the final composition… They’re all good… hell… i would have a mental breakdown trying to decide… so, can’t really say i think one is greatly superior to another!
but, dang… once again i wish i had your sketching skills…! :smiley:
aah, well… keep it up! :thumbsup:
ei saa peittaa… ( the little finnish i know, written on the radiators around the house! )

I think the previous one is better, cause you can see the humiliation of the servant and therefore it has more strength. I personally would change the pose, have him crawling to accentuate this. Keep it up :slight_smile:

#51

I vote for the “Crusader” concept, mostly because it’s the most powerful and dynamic composition you’ve concocted so far. However, it also occurred to me that if you actually backlit them at the angle you currently have the sun in, then both of their faces will be shadowed in a great theme-emphasizing way.

#52

Uh thanks for your comments :slight_smile:

but…

… I feel like I have to focus more to the characters than in the crusade pic :frowning: I’m really torn apart to make the decision. So I’v came up with a concept that cant fail! I make both and then decide :smiley: I hope I have enough time. Oh and the Angel in this latest pic reminds the pries “who is the true master” :slight_smile: (so tables have turned) I make it a bit comedic also and iconic so it just presents these two chareacters and nothing else.

Damn this challenge :smiley:

#53

Ok…final lineart picture…I spent 9 hours today doing it and here it is…hope you like it :slight_smile:

It’s now more character based picture and I feel like it is more true to the instructions given. For better or for worse I’v ditched the crusade theme (sorry boys :frowning:

#54

I really like the latest version of your lineart, look forward to seeing it colored!

I also like his new hairstyle, looking good.

Im a sucker for a well drawn line (9 hours pheww!..)

Very nice concept too (and very up to date what with the pope i suppose (not to offend anyone though))

#59

And that brings a question to my mind…

Where are all the updates!? :wip: Come on! We need atleast one finnish quy to complete 2D challenge… Im kinda bored to be strugling with places 500-700 hundred. So good luck to you!
