Rémi, if your general has russian relatives (she has such name and surname) her name and a surname are written incorrectly, badly for reading and sounding for ear of the Russian peoples and will be ridiculous for this audience. I advise you to correct her name on “Svetlana Hatmanskaya”.

Artys, I agree with you. 
In surname “Hatmanskaya” I see the word “ataman”, which means Cossack chieftain. But maybe I am wrong.

Hey Everyone… I’m still hashing out some sketches on paper. I’ve been looking through all 28 pages thus far and a lot of the entries are looking great.
OKMER… I see you working in the CGSociety color scheme AND he has a pet iguana… that’s pimp. Probably my favorite.
I like the progress on Artys’s too. Something about the top of his head is bothering me though… like it goes back too far… I could be seeing things.
Not a lot of time so I’m not sure if I’m going to sit back on this one and do the next minichallenge or main Dominance War challenge. We’ll see.
Best of luck to you all,
-Mike

Great! This keeps growing and growing!
Ferx: thx for all the advise and support, much appreciated! BTW, the hawk is a very good addition to your piece. But hurry man, and finish that kick-ass image! Go Fernando, go!
OKMER: mate, you can do no wrong! I did like the tortoise look of the previous general, but this new one also rocks. No crits whatsoever.
jamihn: nice one. I like that sort of feline quality it has.
Rupy: masn, thats a scary critter! Maybe some different color in his eyes could draw the attention to his facial expresion some more. Just a thought…
and another wip from me, more details and yet more desaturation. Comments and crits welcomed!
Keep kicking ass everybody, you’re doing a fantastic job!

Hey, Artys and WildBrew, thanks a lot.
I do not speak russian, and your advices are well appreciate !
Yes, I try to put the name “ataman” , wich means cossack leader" as you pointed it, in her name.
So I will change her name !

Here’s the wips for my entry into the dom war 4. I was going to go for a classic portraity portrait, but changed my mind about half way through. I will never finish this damn piece by the deadline, but that won’t stop me from trying!
The originals that I was going to submit were going totally wrong, so I scrapped them yesterday and went ahead with a new idea. I was ready to give up on this one too in the silhouette phase, but decided to push on. The face is still not pleasing to me, but it’s getting there. The originals were too soft looking was the criticism I got. They were intended to be soft. Maybe this general is a strategist, rather than a blood and guts hard nosed kind of guy, but I guess I didn’t put that across too well in the originals.

Great progress from everyone, but just picking out a few…
Nikolay - Nice work, the tonal scheme makes it really original 
naito - Convincing piece and very well rendered but he looks a bit young. If you can find a way of making him look more experienced and battle-hardened I think that would improve it.
DefiledVisions - Looking forward to seeing what this guy turns out like! I’d be tempted to run away from any general who looked like that rather than follow him
NH - Coming along nicely. Still not sure about the blue lines but everything else fits together well.

Great work everyone!
Okmer: Like the new design much better - go with it.
Nikolay: Very nice indeed!
Dorius: Good progress. Still think the shoulders should be broader, though - chunk him out a bit!
NH: Love how you used the logo - nice.
Here’s (probably) my final version. I’ll wait until the weekend to see if I have any more time, but otherwise I’ll upload this one.
Still need to think of a name.
