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

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.

very nice... I think the strongest part of the overall composition, is the top left hand corner and the hair of your character. I definatly like the clouds. I don't suppose the card game is called mage warfare? I've been looking for someone who might want to take in some of my art however it's easyier sounding than it is.

aaaahhhhhhh
it's really good art but I was hoping it was a dune picture, even though that really doesn't look much like Arrakis.Kinda like Caladan.
Anway Dune is a book not a game, even though there are games and much more based of the movie.
Just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't.
You should read the dune books, they are the best Sci-Fi books out there.

Oh, thanks...however, it's not something that someone famous and important have told XD I've foun it on a site ([link] ), an italian site, infact I've translate in english this words that you can find on that page:"Cerchi lβanima gemella? Qualcuno che ti stia vicino nei momenti belli e in quelli brutti, qualcuno con il tuo senso dellβumorismo e che dorma quando tu vuoi dormire? Bene, puoi smetterla di cercare. Una persona cosΓ¬ non esiste."
O_o'

Ahh i see, its kinda sad but perhaps there is someone out there! The secret is to never give up hope i guess ^^

I believe in what that site says. The twin soul doesn't exist, maybe sometimes people fall in love toghether with someone that was born for him....but is quite impossible to find someone like this ^^' I think that it is not a sad thing! 'Cause so you can have a lot of variety of boy/girl-friend, isnt'it? XD XD XD Lol,... what a pervert ^^' XD

honeslty only one word can leave my lips when I see this ... wow. The attention to the details in the background, the pose and unique composition...and the stark contrast of light and dark. I really love all the colors, the blue tints, and how even though most everything is dark its still full of detail. I also envy anyone who can make rocks look decent. To be honest I want to paint a picture in a style like this haha...because it has been in my head for a very long time but

You must be kidding me, I just took a look at your gallery and you have incredible talent! I remember browsing through your page when i was really into CG a few months ago and thought: Thats what i want my characters to turn out like. I tried to do illustration anime-style for awhile but it turned out horribly! The remnants are still in my gallery just to serve as a reminder of failed attempts in the past, hehe.
Thank you so much for taking the time to compliment me as such; i am not worthy
π: 0 β©: 1
o_O...you...not worthy? *dies* Yeah you are. I think its normal to admire people who can do something in a style that you cant right? I cant do art in this style but I would love to have that ability. I think its a great compliment that you would be flattered by me leaving a comment on your page haha...coz you are really really amazing.

Hmm The hand holding the dagger seems to be at an odd angle almost as if the thumb is sorta in the wrong place even though you can't see it. NOT that I'm saying the piece isn't totally awesome cuz it is and I know I could do it, but I just wanted you know what I saw. I love the wing!! Yummy! lol

Thank you for the comments! The thumb is partially hidden, it looks alright to me, but perhaps a little peek at it wouldn't hurt yeah?

You did a very wonderful job, the colors, gradiants, shades, shadows, expression, emotion all of it was well captured you should be very proud of your work and skill, it is greatly admired. *Gives a cookie*

Aww thank you, i admire your skill in penning those emotional poems too!

He is very beautiful, I love the tattoo, it works really well. If it wasnt for the tattoo, I'd say he looked like one of my favourite literary characters, Elric of Melnibone from Michael Moorcocks books.

Thank you for the compliment, and actually recognising his gender!

Heh, some of my sketches turn out too feminine sometimes, so I know just what you mean
