Right on!! I love your style and the theme you chose! Very inspiring, thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

ps: checked your website, :eek: :eek: :eek: amazing inspiration, raven has some sweet artists

#17

WOOW…i loved the very feel of it and the face and hairs are sweet…but left arm cud’ve been more dynamic and agree on right arm…its not that readable…
donno but his face reminds of obelix from >> asterix and obelix…

kick@$$ work mate…:buttrock:

if you spent 10 minutes to flip the background and move the warrior more to the right in odrder to compensate u would dramatically improve the Composition…in terms of “rule of thirds”…the idea is to have the silohuette of the castle and mountian to point towards his chest instead of his back and make it read from left to right more clearly

other then that, excellent render

Congratulations, I love your image. I recently posted a dwarf, I tried to get the same feeling, but in 3d. Your hair is so much better. If you want check it out en tell me what you think.

Hi,

Its very well painted, good job!
Altough it does not read easily on the negative space it´s an impressive powerfull message, worth of Odin.

Congratulations ! :thumbsup:

Wow…wow, wow.

Two front page plugs??! This must be unprecedented!

Another great painting. I love that it’s a different style than your Vader piece. Great job of getting texture and depth in the painting.

Looks like you’ve done your research on Odin as well. Kudos.

Art :slight_smile:

that is cool

Veery nice painting, I like the overall feel of it. Some crits:

  • The spearhead and bracelets look a bit flat, a bit more relief on those?
  • The second bird should be a raven? It looks too grey and too big wingspan, more like a gull?
  • The backlight outlines of the body look too thin. Be bold! A wider contour and softer shading would be super!
  • I like the chilly mood of the color scheme, but again I think it could be more bold in colors without losing the feel.

This is your second artwork in Pshop? That’s amazing, I think you will soon blow us all away…!

Thanks I’m really happy you liked my image. I checked out the 3D dwarf that you did. It looks really cool. I don’t know what your software limitations on modelling are, but I thnik you just need some lighter whispier (if that is a word) strands trailing out from the main clumps of hair.

I would also suggest pushing the axe back a bit in value (through some very subtle atmospheric mist in front) as it visually sits on the same plane with his face, and he is holding it back a bit.

Thanks again for checking my work out

It reminds me Thorgal comics! Grate work. Five stars! :thumbsup:

#31

Just awesome!
5 Stars!
:bowdown:

Your style reminds me of Jethro Tull - The BroadSword and The Beast cover:

#32

Very nice color, like it a lot. Nice treatement of the background and the glares. The arm is a very hard read tho. Took me a long time to figure it out. The Raven would be fine perched on his should without the arm. I think it would be very strong without it. :buttrock:

#33

MY MAIN crit and i think someone else mentioned it …the second bird looses the feel of raven…your other raven is stunning…so the second one should be as true to the mythology!
odin must be smiling at this one!

#34

Ha ha ha! i like it. Its look good 5 stars :thumbsup:

nice rendering. umber color really brings the emotion, especially in organic(mostly in humans)

but the cushion on the bicep it’s slight distorted
