Absolutely beautiful!
This has an amazing effect at first site. The light guides my eyes to all the right places, and your technique on the made and water make a lovely fluid, but electric, pattern. I can really feel the force and energy within the painting.
I love your use of detail in the upper levels of the painting. And you haven't gone into detail in areas that the viewer isn't focused on. Which is always more fun to look at. You've also allowed for a lot of space for the viewer's mind to... 'Fill the gaps.'
The sharper light outlining the fish is perfect! It makes them visible without centering them in the image. Really good!
Your use of colour is also amazing. Something I've always wanted to master is that sort of multi-lens mix that you've achieved with that little bit of blue.
The only improvement I could suggest is to add just a bit more detail to the lion's face, it's the only area where the blur is immediately obvious.
Defiantly one of my favorite paintings of yours! <3

Ok to start i am not the best artist/critic,but i will give it my best shot.
Over all this is a very well made piece.
No obviously the coloring is spectacular.The light effecs are profecionaly done.The desing of the big deamon/lion thing, is very well made,you can tell what its supposed to look like,and yet the way its drawn/colored you can also tell that its supposed to be a sort of spirit being(i think).
Honestly i have to miner issues with it,but both are more like personal pet peeves.1.One the fish seems odd to me.like its too 2D and it kinda sticks out to me.2.Some of the lines kinda stick out in the water.Like they look like stains of hair to me.
But again overall this is a great piece of art.Props to the Artist e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Demons Run when a Good Man goes to War
He pulls on the Heartstrings of the Gone
When a Good Man goes to War
Paradox folds time will tell
Whos fate is none to well
When a Good Man goes to War
Brave and Weak stand Arm in Arm
All eyes wide open in Silent Alarm
When a Good Man goes to War
Demons Run when a Good Man goes to War
The Silence stirs while Time is won
When a Good Man goes to War
Truth from Hearts makes mummy Weep
Tells of Much but Steals you Sleep
When a Good Man goes to War
The Headless Ones no beat nor trail
Were set as Pawns to watch them Fail
When a Good Man goes to War
Demons Run when a Good Man goes to War
Night will Fall and drown the Sun
when a Good Man goes to War
Friendship dies and True Love Lies
Night will fall and Dark will Rise
When a Good Man goes to War
Demons Run but Count the cost
The Battle's won but the Child is Lost
...When a Good Man goes to War (this reminds me of that doctor who episode)

I really liked her at the beginning and of course her character concept is briliant, but the stories start being more about her than anything else... Deveoping the new doctor would be a nicer focus...
I picked up somewhere they were going to get river back in. Let´s see how they handle the two of them But mabe that was just... gossip...

How I paint linelessSooo... I was asked by Rainsig to make a tutorial on how I paint lineless and not have the sketch shine through. This turned out more as a commented speedpaint, but I hope you´ll still like it.
To my fellow germans:
Please let me know whether this video is blocked to you even when you view it in this journal! If it is I´m going to upload a version without music just for you
!I did say the brush had to be set to "pressure opacity". That´s true, but there is not always a dynamics panel, as in gimp/ps. The important thing is that your brush´s opacity changes with more or less pressure!
Additional tips:
Use reference!Get your self a second screen. I use my tablet and usually have got google images open on it when I paint.Use a square brush from time to time. It helps to break up the round brush pattern. (and/or use textured brushes)Get gimp. If you don´t have photoshop- get gimp. It´s totally free but the basics are the same.

This is really great I like the contrast between the red and the blue parts which are kind of united in the dark colors of the whole picture.
it's like a contrast between the "burning" demon itself and it's cold surrounding, but despite this contrast it still looks like belonging there
really interesting atmosphere
the fishes look kind of funny there, they don't seem to fit there, they don't disturbed the impression of the whole picture, but they... look weird there, like a little gag by the way

Love this quote because it can be applied to my beloved SPN as well.
Teach me to draw without linearts because I really can't xD Especally manes, because it looks like fire, wow. The overall messy style of this is amazing ;u; The only thing I'd change is the nose, maybe make it sparkle as well.

Thanks! I might actually add some nose sparkling! Great idea! (If i manage...)
I used to have problems when removing the lines when i tried to paint line less at first but by now i paint on top of the sketch with pressure opacity so step by step lines and sketches vanish. On this one i didn't even do a line sketch. Just laid down a basics grey shape and the started shading it with greyscale. Then i coloured it....
