Description
EDIT: Where the hell are the Ninja Wizards? Answer me.
According to Boromir's very own words: "Oh man, that would be so frickin' AWESOME!" So...here's our man showing us how it's done!
Totally inspired by the Lord of the Rings gif > [link]
This was mainly a digital painting study, with emphasis on "painting". Took me several days to finish, most of the time though was finding a good painterly appearance, by studying Monet, Sargent, and Michael Kutsche. Still getting there, but it seems the right way to go further
So, compleely done in Painter 11, some adjustments in Photoshop.
Tell me what you people think of it okay?
Cheers to everyone!

Bahahahaha!! I remember that gif! Great work with everything here. Very nice brown midtones, lighting.. the composition is good. An overall great piece. (as if the subject matter wasn't enough to make it "so frickin' AWESOME!")

This. Is simply epic.
On a side note... if my Lore-Master in Lord of the Rings Online would have this for HER bear, I would maybe even play her more often...

You cannot see the ninja wizards. If you could, they wouldn't be ninjas.

This is a really great idea, and a very amusing one at that! The composition is great, and the expressions are perfect, with Boromir leading the charge, the upper bear being furious, and the second being very focused on it's mission of lasering it's target to death. While I personally would have liked to see a more vivid color scheme (a mid-day look with more vivid greens, for example), the late afternoon/evening tone does work, and the browns and blacks suggests that Boromir and Co. are at the edge of a desolate landscape, where the vegetation starts to die off.
Overall, this is a great piece (and the fact that it's digital is amazing...it looks 100% like a real painting!), and I'm very glad I got to see it! Any chance of us seeing a sequel pic, where Sauron is recoiling like a little girl as the bears attack him?

Thank you for your great feedback!
Well, maybe not a sequel, but something based on other Lord of the Rings gifs out there. It will be fun nonetheless.

This is AMAZING. I thought it was an actual painting... It's hard to believe you did this digitally! Great job!
and laser bears.... that is just genius.

Haha thanks a lot! Yeah I'm studying ways to make a digital painting appear natural...of course, Painter does help a lot, but doesn't do anything
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the comment!
