Description
Hello everyone, this is a piece done for a game card project.This is the first time i've finished a painting this fast, it usually takes me incredibly long because i'm weak and always get stuck somewhere.
Photoshop 7.0
*Disclaimer* I'm sorry if i drew any references to Arrakis from Dune? I havent read that novel / played the game that was spun-off it; so the name copy was definitely unintentional. I took the name out from a forum some years back. I apologise for the mix-up.
P.S: On a side note, I'm working on the project with Morgorth, but we work seperately, just to clear things up

very nicely done here. To be honest I did not think about Dune, but it did make me think of the Cutie Honey live action movie.

wow, this is incredible... even though it has minor problems I think its very well constructed and beautifully colored... I am a layman in visual arts, so my criticism isn't really based on any real knowledge... I congratulate you on a well-mastered piece... BTW, I think its a great image for a card... this is the quality you seen on magic... sorry... now I am babbling... beautiful

Arrakis is an only sand planet
Yours is more like an ash planet

You don`t do it by paypal. They send you a check I believe in the mail. (I have a print account & I don`t have paypal. Paypal sucks anyway, you get ripped off with them.) You just put in your address & you get your money monthly (if any of your prints were sold).
I`m sure you`d sell some prints.
Hell, I`d buy some.

dude... DUNE is not a game, it's a NOVEL... it's the "Lord of the rings" but in the sci-fi category O.o

Hands are a bit small, uhh.... Face kinda funny.... But then again, I am not one to judge... Although, arms look short....
Overall, it is a good little painting. I'd give it a 9 outta 10.

Great job there matey. You did very well on this, though the "Arrakis" part didn't quite register. Isn't Arrakis just "Dune"?

When I first looked at this, it reminded me of the love of my life ... so instinctively it drew me in.
But the colors and the style of this are also what drew me in.
It's dramatic and dark, and for that I enjoy it very much.
