Description Hi Guys !
This is a cover I just finished. It's for a re-edition of fantasy novels I did covers for about six years ago (my first ones). So this is actually new version of this cover: [link]

This is one of the first images I've been doing after Berlin Made Symposium where I had my portfolio reviewed by Marko Djurdjevic, Coro and Esad Ribic. They gave me a lot of useful critique. So I'm trying to develop my illustrating abilities. I'm trying to use less effects and concentrate more on the painting, composition and anatomy. Hopefully in some time I'll get better and faster. Looking forward on this road, but it'll be a hard one

Hope you’ll like the image. I may change something after some time (it’s too fresh now to see all the mistakes). If there is something you don’t like please tell me.
Thanks!

edit: I edited the picture a liitle, corrected proportions of the rider, gave it a little different crop etc. thanks, for the comments and crits!

Hm, opravdu zlepšení! Asi dobře radili na tom symposiu Myslím že "ilustrativnější" je dobrý popis dojmu, který z toho mám oproti té starší verzi.

Už se těším na obálku DrD2!

Wow, comparing to the previous cover, this one feels a lot more "alive" and dramatic. The horse's belly and hind legs look a bit odd, but it could be the perspective that's playing tricks on my eyes. Except that, I think the anatomy looks great and the illustration is very dynamic. Overall composition is just great.
