you really are an expert on light. all of your paintings are awesome, but this one caught my eye immediately. there's such a nice glow to it. in fact, the way you made the light hit the demon's chest makes his pecs look like their bursting right out of the picture! it adds so much volume.

Thank you! This was one of my first painting attempts on illustration board, so there were a few challenges that I had to work through. I'm glad I got the light and shadow right on it.

This came out really well. I like the transition between the background and the wings. It makes it look like he's walking through a low-lying fog.

Awesome. If I had one critique, it would be that the skin looks softer somehow to me. One of the things I liked about the scrap was how "rough" the skin looked, and I think this could use more of that.

GH-MoNGo In reply to OuroborosCobra [2007-12-26 02:48:07 +0000 UTC]

Alright. I guess I could add some texture with coloured pencil or pastel.

Lesser than what? I wouldn't want to tangle with him. Nice stoic, statue-like pose. Rather haunting. His belt buckle/skull looks a bit overly comical compared to the mood of the rest of the piece, though.

Yeah, I kinda noticed that... I'm not too good with drawing serious-looking skulls.

Hungrysparrow [2007-11-20 23:46:48 +0000 UTC]

I like how the colour fades out at the bottom, it gives the impression that he is rising from mist or smoke. I think if you made the background behind his head quite a bit darker it would really throw him forward. Try experimenting on PHotoshop though to see if you agree- it's looking too nice to risk as it is.

stuntedsanity [2007-11-18 19:15:34 +0000 UTC]

Great colouring, though it might of benefited from a bit of foreground mist so that the wing doesn't seem to fade into the background.
Great work though.

You probably don't like hearing this, but after what I've seen from you over the past few months, I have to say the painted stuff is clearly your true strength.

That's some lovely modeling there, I love how you did the wings and the background, so subtle! Your modeling of the form of the figure is describing the forms very well, nice piece!
