Description Happy new year everybody! I wish you all the best in the forthcoming twelve months. I'm kicking off 2017 with a study. (got to do more of these I swear you can learn a lot from these studies)

So I was experimenting with principles from the pixel art technique applied on a large canvas with one type of hard brush and a blending tool and I'm quite pleased with the result for now.

By the way I'm still working on animating Sourwood Glade, it just takes a lot of my time (even just those falling leaves...) but I haven't forgotten

Thank you Noa! I loved working on this, as this was one of those times when I truly let my brushstrokes loose.

Ahh! I love this armor! This is a great design, not super fantasized like most armor nowadays, quite historically accurate. looks like a real suit of plate! Fine work!

I hear ya... I also frown upon these strange fantasy armors that come out of the woodwork nowadays. Especially the ones they design for females I mean come on there is no functionality in plate bikinis! xD One thrust with the sword to the abdomen and it is done. I see and understand the visual appeal and everything but my traditionalist senses just go nuts when I see stuff like that or over sized weapons.

Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you very much! I somehow love to illustrate aging / weathered things. Kinda makes me think it has become my comfort zone... and in that case... I'll put something shiny for next on the agenda haha.
