Hey there !

I particularly like the tatoos on the lower guy.
The rocks on the right are supposed to be on the first plane right ? If so, I'd suggest to work on them furthermore and define them into chunks or something like that. If not, well discard that last comment but work on it to make it clearer of what material it is

Another thing that I have problems with is the light source. Is that big planet in fact a sun ? Or a moon doing a total eclipse (so that the sun is beyond) ? Or is that some fantasy metaphysics my little logic mind cannot grasp ?

Your work looks very promising. Keep it up!

Ps: that's a nice signature you put on your art

Ahh you can just smell the new talent in the air. I like it but i don't realyl understand the river looking thingy. Is that an army or a road?

The characters look very good! Like the tribals, too. The environment lacks depth and the moon/planet doesn't look too realistic. Maybe get some reference pics of deserts to get the idea. Also your strokes there are very smudgy compared to the very defined characters.
I like the idea. I hope the guys in the foreground are just the vanguard, otherwise I'd get out of the way as quick as possible before serious hell is raised!

This one was moused? Very good! Nice to have you aboard. Do some more work on this one.

Hello,

Its a total eclipse, thuse the the powerful light jumping from behind the close moon. The river thing is an army. Thanks for the comments and suggestions..

sheesh with a mouse! how did'ya manage to go that well with a mouse - I'm trying that for ages (OK only half a year

)now and haven't succeeded yet

...

I have to agree with Jaymo 'bout the moon/planet; it's too close! The warriors in the foreground are well done though

Nice one - looking forward to new pics of you

love the painting but the moon reminds me more of a gigantic cotton ball ... no idea on how to change it though.....hmmmmm

maybe it's just me.
