Damn, great looking sunset, Cos! It almost looks like it's ablaze, like there's a towering inferno on the horizon. Your speedy painting style on the characters is always good, and I dig the muscles on the barb, too.

Got a few crits. I think the right hand should be larger that what's here. Sure, foreshortening is involved, but the two characters are too far from the viewpoint for a size reduction like that.

Also, it sort of looks like the girls hair has been tied into a ponytail, but with where the hair tie is and direction of the part in her hair, she looks like her head is tilted back back and looking off to her right. I don't know if that's what you're trying to get across but it looks a little uncomfortable for her.

Hope that wasn't too brutal

High five touched on the only thing that I noticed, great job

Colossal WOW man!. Geez this is flush.
You capture a real natural look to your work. Hard to define exactly what. I'll think on it.
Any possible crits have been covered I think. Perhaps room for refinement on the right midground.
Do you know your back anatomy from memory or use the standard practise of reference?(haha. Innocent question man

Fantastic atmosphere! Very nice.

ELLioT · Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2002 10:04 am

Cool but what are they looking at/heading to?
I feel frustrated not to see it. You don't even give a clue to imagine it...

Cos · Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2002 3:53 pm

notic, Cincimo - Thanks

Hoodz - Cheers, all done in photoshop, using some custom brushes. Weird actually I was thinking of putting a castle up in the right, tho it just looked odd, too high up in the sky so decided it was better to drop it.

Highfive - Thanks man. Good crits aswell, hand definetely looks too small there.. didn't even notice that. Would probably have to show alot less of the forearm or make that hand bigger. I'll touch that up

Agree about her head too, that was bothering me.. It is meant to be tilting looking up to the her right, all weary like they've been walking for days. I think it might look more odd for the fact its tilting so against the line of her body which is going to the upper left, but straightening it lost that weary look, so just left it as..

Duckman2 - Thanks m8

Lukiaz - Cheers ya sinister shady bastid

, heh. yea the anatomys from memory. Have been doing a fair bit of anatomy studies lately, hopefully its starting to stick. Did get my cousin to pose his arm for the foreshortening (which I still messed up), that was kinda a bitch to do. Tho he not a big muscle dude so I won't count that as anatomy ref

Can still see areas that are bodged tho, lower trap on the left is too low for a start, and the way the arm is pushing into the lat looks kinda odd, but can't be arsed to mess with it again.

JasonN, Enayla, Tek9z, Gordillo - Thankyou!

Elliot - he's pointing/heading to the meeting place of the rest of their group. There wasn't really room for much else in this without cluttering the composition imo. Guess you'll have to use some imagination and take it as it is, maybe I'll paint it.
