Lovely artwork… nice colours and great epic feel to the composition! Keep going… you’ve obviously got some serious talent! :applause:
Oh, and you’re studying at Sheridan? We have a few Sheridan graduates here at our animation studio (in Halifax, NS). Talented artists, to be sure! 
Good luck and I’ll check back for updates.
Cheers!
As much as I love the main eagle in the foreground, its pose just doesn’t seem right. So heres the contour of the new pose.
Although it’s a new pose I will keep the old facial expression as the original eagle.
Ah is see what you mean about the eagle. Yeah, gesture of this is a lot better, but definately keep the expression of the other one. Keep it coming dude 
be checking back again.
BTW, i checked your website, very nicely designed (how the hell did you program that page scrolling effect). I like the works you have their. Some really cool detailings. Now i’m really thrill to see you finish this piece :argh:
cheers
Thanks for the site compliments, that thing has been a work in progress for years. I always get distracted by other things. Like this challenge for one.
But what page scrolling effect are you referring to?
You know, when you scroll with the window scroll bar, you see the back of your page.
Oh, nevermind. I see what you did. You have a couple of layers right?.. i think
Anyway, don’t worry about it. I was just curious on how you did it.
cheers
oh wow… what gorgeous colours! Having read the background for this piece, I have to say I love the way you’ve based it in mythology here and there, and the constellation idea is a really beautiful touch that anyone in the know whould recognise. One minor thing… are you going to be able to see the humans? Because the rules do state that at least one of the characters must be human… but maybe that counts if you just do them really small in the chariot. I kinda like the fact you won’t be able to see the masters so close up.
And the new eagle pose is certainly 100% better than the last… and I’d keep that agressive facial expression on it too if you can. Lovely work this far… can’t wait to see the details emerging.
Thanks for the friendly reminder, but yes I will show the humans in the chariots. The reason I have not even attempted them yet is because they are the least of my worries in terms of rendering. They will probably be one of the last things I do.
By the way, you got some serious sketches over there in your challenge page. Nice work!
Been pretty busy lately, but I get my new BOXX laptop tomorrow and will be anxious to use it. So hopefully things will move quickly.
Here just working on the main eagle.
It’s about time I start puting some detail into this thing.
Started off with the head of the eagle since it’s pretty much the main focal point.
Hi Pixelcritter,
Great progress! Thank you for giving us frequent looks at your work. It’s nice to see intermediate stages. Keep up the great work. I’m looking forward to seeing everything come together.
Regards,
Its coming along to be a beautiful piece of work, very graceful, beautiful pallete, lovely mood. Can’t wait to see it finished. Great sense of movement mate.
Here you can see the pieces of the Eagle separate. Next I need to do the other wing and the body’s first pass so I can get the lighting straight, then I’ll go back in and get all the fur in place.
Wow love the way you set your composition, I’m almost flying with your eagle.
Wonderful work so far.
hmm… the wings are looking a little flat though, especially the right one. You also might want to exaggurate it a bit. You have a V going on with both wings, how bout curving it a bit like an upward C. Anyway, MORE…MORE… updates
cheers
Thanks Arc80, I see what you mean. On my next update I’ll see what I can do about that. I’ve been in such a hurry to get this thing moving I miss stuff along the way.
I do wanna try and exaggerate the wings on the eagles, especially on the main one. So we’ll see how things turn out.
Slightly altered the wings. I don’t wanna get too caught up in minor details at this stage.
Why do i keep catching your thread first… Cool, i see you slightly adjusted it. Just bump up the contrast a bit. It’s looking flat, especially the right wing. Be back again.
MORE…more details dude :twisted:
cheers
