Description
I don't often paint landscapes, so this was something a bit different...also a compositional challenge that I'm not sure I was successful with. I do like the blue-gray mood of it, though. It's an illustration for the story featured on my web site...my character Dustin looking uncharacteristically morose.Related content

Looking back on my faves, I came across this piece. I was surprised to see it had been done by you. It definitely was a change in style for sure, but it worked well. The slight purple glare in the clouds is interesting.
I'm sure it's over-said, but his expression really does say a lot, and not just his face, his hands as well.

The colors give this the perfect mood. You wonder what happened, and what he's thinking about. I love the branches and bushes, it gives everything a dead look.
Love it!

Ýour work is truly amazing, I'm yet again looking through your gallery and I am quite sure many more of your drawings will be added to my favourites. The 'Lackadaisy' comic is also wonderful, humerous and with really nice characters.

I have to say it that this is most WONDERFUL and breathe-taking image you did. You have a fantastic art skill, and this image also made me think about Arthur and the round table, or how the survivor see the cause of battle in his eyes. This deserves a fave!

You probably could do a better job composition wise by expanding the width, giving it a "widescreen" feel. It simply looks a tad cramped like this. Also you might want to consider showing more of the sky and sword; the sword itself seems like a near-hidden detail in that corner.
You did a good job with the mood and colors.

It's amazing. I love the colours and the whole dark feel to it. The battlefieldas the background is a powerful image, and I think you managed to draw in the death and pain that occurs during wars.
*favs*

Was he just in that gorey battle or did he just find it. Because his hair is way to neat and perfect... just like the rest of the picture! ... Love the mountains.

I think that your perspective is pretty acurate. I must know what goes into a creation of this level of detail? Are you a digital artist or a traditional artist? Do you use a Waicom or di youjust scan it in?
p.s It's beautiful almost like the Blue Ridge mountains.

O.o Wow. I'd die happy if I could get half of that mood with colored pencils. The detail is amazing. The expession on his face, the branches, the marshy land... I especially like the little snowdrop blooms at his feet.

Your refreshingly realistic- but also emotional and beautifully rendered- art... made my afternoon. I got lost in your gallery and found each piece to be of such a high quality and perfect lighting, and as I said a few moments ago, your character expressions can be priceless. ^^ Such dedication to art is highly appreciated by me. Thank you.

Well, thank you in turn for the kind words and feedback. I'm very happy to hear you were able to lose yourself in my gallery. If there's a overriding reason for the artwork to exist, it's that.
