Description So this is my 100th deviation and I thought I should do something different with it. You may ask yourself why I am uploading a white picture. Thats because the painting will take place there, its going to be kind of a "tamagotchilikeevolvingpainting" So, I will paint frequently on it and update the deviation everytime. I dont know if its going to be good or the worst painting in the history of deviantart, lets see^^

Thank you to all of you who liked my work and supported me with all the nice comments, that really helps so much, love you folks

Always open for suggestions and criticism concerning the painting

Looking really good so far.

I'll probably make something like this in (distant) future too. Right now I wouldn't be able to make half the things people tell me to. And, I'd probably get only like 2 or 3 people contributing. xD

I think the horsemen need to be moved up a little. Also if all the vertical lines converged a little to the top of the picture, the apparent size of the cliffs will be increased. I'm also imagining a waterfall in the centre which would be kickass for exaggerating the atmospheric perspective and mist effects like this: [link] Also this guy has some fantastic unrestricted horse stock with riders in medieval costume: [link]

MatthiasUtomo In reply to adelruna [2013-05-27 09:44:25 +0000 UTC]

Thanks alot!! Ok, I will move them up a little so that the horse heads are completely visible. Waterfall sounds cool, I think I will put it behind the right knightess to push her more in the foreground. Ohhhhhhh those refs are awesome

I see here a woman-warior , who slowly walks through and surrounded by big and very big monsters in armours , wariors, and stuff... she is an alien there. Every one have unkind looking on her, suspicions ,but definitely respect and afraid of her... %\
oh, and of course big tree is out there... ))

Its really interesting how everyone sees different things, I only see one monster. But I think thats the good thing about a sketch, it keeps the imagination going.
