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

Y'know there, think I've got that card...your signature's source card, that is. One of the Alpha or Beta Black Knights, eh?

Yeap, that's Black Knight I got introduced to Magic when i was a kid, and i absolutely love the Black Knight. For some reason his quote was so cool!

Nicely done, and congrats on the DD. The bottom right mist is done nicely, although is the characters hair meant to be THAT thin? especially on his/her left side. Some parts look a little too "smudged" for personal preferences too, but compositionally it's sexy, and take a step back, it's just gravy gravy and more gravy.

Thanks a ton for the constructive criticism! I agree on his "baldness", although i didnt mean for it to be that way
In fact, i added some thickness to his hair, but i guess i underdid it. Thank you for the compliments

-- oh and i think her left hand is a tad too small, comparatively... but then... hands are always good at such optical illusions -- did you make a sketch before painting?

MercurialXen In reply to digitalCaesar [2005-03-02 16:29:07 +0000 UTC]
Yes i did make a sketch before starting, but i added the background along the way, which was quite wrong because i struggled with implementing the various elements

Thank you. This is a card game in the flesh of Magic, but set in a Real-Time Strategy environment. Its a collaboration with my friend in the same class in school
