Description
My sixth (and in my opinion) most successful piece of work yet.Painted in CS4 with trust 7300.
I used no reference for this painting, which took about 6 hours.
Please note that I added a bit of extra ambient lighting to the picture to bring it out a little more, If I was going for hyper-realism it would be darker.
Hope you enjoy my piece, more coming soon so make sure to watch me please

My, my, I see great lighting consistency. I have to applaud you on your mastery of this aspect.
The background really is very impressive, I don't that even I could muster so much creativity.
Overall your coloring is near flawless, yet you need some guidance on anatomy. The pose itself is very asserting, but the anatomy is wrong. I'm sure practice will make you perfect on this area soon enough. I love the design of this character, is is very unique.

the painting isn't too bad but you should study figure more. buy yourself some figure drawing and anatomy books. And get that down first, THEN start painting 
good luck

Cheers. I know I messed the hands/forearms up a little bit.
I might start using more references when painting in the future.

Thank you for your submission to ZealZone. All I can say is WOW! Great use of color, good detail (but not too much), the ambient lighting is great. I would have to agree that this is your most successful piece yet. I also put myself on time limits. i find that deadlines and pressure make you work harder and better. Let's see more1

This has a really great composition! The Deamon looks great and I love that "muscle-style" on his skin. What I don't like that much are the rocks above (behind) him. They have a lack of detail and I prefer works that are detailed EVERYWHERE.
Other than that it looks really wonderful.

Thanks for the comment. I am in two minds about the rocks myself, I love going crazy with detail but I decided to try and stay disciplined with this piece and set myself a time target. That meant the Deamon has a lot of detail and the environment less so as I got pushed for time. I guess it will teach me to get a bit faster.
My next painting which is 30% done is a semi-similar theme and will be much more detailed

I don't like when I have to hurry with artworks so I usually don't set me time targets. But it seems that you've had your reasons.
And that about the next painting sounds really cool. I hope for you that it's gonna be a really epic work!
