Took awhile "painting" this one. It's not really a true painting--you'd notice just a bunch of crappy globs of color if you removed the lines. Anyway, don't bother trying to figure out what this picture is about. It's all about wanting to draw some interesting looking stuff and throwing it into a picture together.
Here are some more versions if you want them Full color: [link] Monochrome: [link] No Background color: [link] (my 2nd personal favorite, despite all the time spent on the BG) Comments
this is so amazing! I love the detaill in the tree, and the background! It must have taken absolutley for ever to finish! that's true talent! I especially love her weapon! It just looks so damn cool!!!!!
-- I know, I've stood so long beside you And I know, I should've left you right where I had found you This is pretty nice... I like all the color variations, though I think this one is best. The only thing that bugs me about it is that in ALL versions, you have tangential lines that flatten the girl to the tree... I thought at first that she was crawling on it, or over it, and then realized that this isn't the case. The reason they look as though they're part of the same plane, though, is the way her knee matches the direction of the lines of the tree's texture, and her nearest hand as well as the leading part of the weapon she's holding match the direction of lines that form the tree branch. Tangential lines will bite you on the ass if you're not careful, by flattening out the overall image.
The color schemes are brillant, though, and if you have the girl as a separate element, then you can shift her into a position where the tangents no longer exist. ur first complete picture in quite some time. It's good. Of all the versions i agree that this is the best and that the empty bakground is second best. the full color version has a lack of focus in the bottom left corner, the version you have now lets the compostion stay fluid and the colors remain calm and work with the picture. The monochrome was just oo blotty and unfocused. I think the weapon was dont well, the mace/lance/axe. the root was done VERY well, best aspect i think. dynamic concept and render. The mountains are done very well but i dont think it's entirely obvious that they're in the Background and not just a very pretty pile of rocks nearby. Tree leaves are brilliant tho. the ground is the only thing i think needs filling in. nice tone overal tho.
