Honestly, I would prefer it if you didnt. I just like to have control over what my artwork goes into. I hope you understand

The sense of scale, lighting and composition are all mind blowing. It even has a story to it.
I would love to provide you with some feedback but can't find anything wrong with this. Its perfect.

The only one thing I would say (I think you may already know about this) is try and keep your focal point
away from the center point (Rule of thirds) it will add visual interest to your image and make it look unique.
Not that it needs any of that but just try it next time.

ThranTantra In reply to GDSWorld [2010-08-29 14:15:47 +0000 UTC]

true, But the rule of thirds is a guide, not a law. I was aware of my decision to put everything down the center.

GDSWorld In reply to ThranTantra [2010-08-29 15:31:20 +0000 UTC]

Fair enough it looks good as it is.
It is a guide but I've heard a lot of artist use it
to make their work stand out.

Wooooahhh. This reminds me of some of the Acheronian architecture I saw in the MMORPG Age of Conan, based on Robert E. Howard's books. Amazing job! As usual your designs and lighting both awes and inspires me.

My favourites of the favs I faved! (did I just type that? haha)

I absolutely love the whole epic feel to this one. The tiny figures really add a great touch to the image. Adding the damage to the blades really gives it some flavour, and far more visually appealing. The colours? Wow. I love how an orangey-green go so well together.

Excellent work!

This is stunning. Any chance you'd be willing to put it in 's concept art gallery for others to work off? I'd love to try something like this in 3D

ThranTantra In reply to Cymae [2010-08-29 02:53:41 +0000 UTC]

I didn't actually know you was a 3d modeler.
Why don't you upload some more of your 3d work?
