Thanks again! And you are right on about the mountains being a little disconnected. I started the mountains for another piece but moved them into this one when I had trouble making a suitable background. So they were really built as two separate pieces. I'm still like how it turned out. What bothers me most right now is his left hand.
Thanks for looking through my gallery.

I love the rough style, especially his face. The falcon is great too, and the whole thing expresses very well his watchful loneliness in the mountains. He seems a very interesting character The only thing that bothers me is that the mountains seem to be floating in the air, there's nothing in the space behind the sword, a soft colouring in browns and blues for example, or something else..maybe I'm wrong, don't know. Anyway, I still love this painting and really enjoyed looking at your gallery

Question, did you paint this? Or did you do this on a computer program?
Its really well done.
Though, the elf doesn't have any eyes.

It's all digital painting done in Paint Shop Pro with a Wacom tablet. His eyes are suppose to be obscured by shadow... but I don't know that it came across very well. Thanks for the !

Thank you. I've never drawn a falcon before, so I'm glad that it turned out okay.

Really nice piece of art Especially the elf's face, I love it. The bird is like alive, gorgious. I'm an ornithologist, so believe me - that's real falcon, hehe
And how you did this pic looking so soft but expressive... I'll give you
cuz I like it! Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much for the high praise. I'm not an ornithologist, so I was hoping I didn't screw up the bird too badly.
As for the elf's face... I had a completely different face on him to begin with. I didn't like how it was turning out so I erased the face and added this one. I'm glad you like it.

Hehe, I often use eraser in my works... Erasing something and adding something new... That's funny but that's the way it goes!
