Description A painting inspired by ~sparkyevil 's Myrmidon Sketch .

So Morigar (the orc, who belongs to *Enydimon ) thinks this is an easy win, and so does everyone else except for Hagler (the bugbear). Morigar's reasoning is that Myrmidon needs a booster seat to be able to sit level with him. The orc and the dwarf agree to wager one mug of Thungar's Stout on the contest, the others put down gold on the contest. The barkeep is watching over both to make sure Witt (the goblin) doesn't pocket any of it while the attention is on the match.

Any guesses on what happens next?

Watercolour and Ink on Twinrocker 400 g/sm CP watercolour paper.

This is amazing, I was watching your wips waiting for this to be complete ta-da.

Nice work I'm not too sure what will happen next, maybe the goblin does pocket the gold and they end up sharing the drink .. or maybe not

I'm thinking more along the lines of "maybe not".

Thank you!

You painted this really beautifully!! I can't figure out how you do it. My watercolor skills stink.

Thanks!

It took a lot of glazing; laying one transparent colour over another one to blend them together.

You know, your work is starting to look a lot like someone I've been trying to emulate (and getting nowhere at) David Trampier. Check him out.

fantastic job on the rendering and coloring. I love the granuation in the background. Myrmidon's skin is perfect! and so is his arm hair. Great job.

I still want deeper shadows from you, though.

MatthewSmith [2008-07-05 14:07:59 +0000 UTC]

Normally, of course, my money would be on the orc on general principle. But when Myrmidon's the opponent, you *never* bet on the green guy...

Topping work, fella!

a bit too warm for me (try cooling filter and maybe raise contrast in ps - it'll roughly illustrate what i mean). maybe it's just me. anyway best drawing in your gallery to date. and it's quite solid - looks finished an accurate, it has nice elements of storytelling (bugbear is great). keep 'em coming.

That's some good progress Darrenn!
Your best yet imo.
I'd still like to see some highlights though .. I know, I know I keep saying it!
Very delicately handled, I'm loving seeing you improve day after day
As for that favour you want, send me a note late next week and we'll see what we can do eh? I've nearly cleared the builk of my book and some other work, so the time seems right to see what's up.
