The outline version is beautiful - I really like it !!!
I can't give youany good tipps wit the coloring...
Never did a matte.

Go for it is my only tipp

[SikeSpiegal005]

In my opinion, u coulda just left it in black an white! I also really like the final color version-except i think u should make the smoke a lil less airbrushy.

[Fredrik]

Oh, nice outlines, but I don't like the smoke att all in the last pic

Yeah, I not only have a distaste for the smoke, but the color all around. I can never achive what I want. Maybe i should just stick to the outlines =P

I like all the pieces, I think with the smokey picture it get�s confusing with all the smoke infront of the tree because there are no source of fire before the tree??? hmmm...was that unclear...just a tip...i�m not a pro.
good stuff.

The sketch is nice, and so is the first color draft .I think the last couple are a little off track- the palette lost its coherence, and so did the lighting and atmosphere. Make sure you know your lightsources, and make sure you consider the ways their qualities affect objects they interact with.
Consider your first color image, with those red skys- you can point out three main light sources - the sun light (or is it a moon light ?) coming from the right, the sky light coming from all around the scene, and the lava coming from below. each has a different quality , intensity and color- the light from the sky is soft and casts soft shadows all over the place, tinting the entire scene in a red/orange hue , whereas the light from the sun is brighter, casting sharp shadows, and possibly giving the objects it hits more of their original color.
I think that sticking to such a setup (you can come up with something else of course, it's completely up to you) can help you get a better looking piece, something that looks and feels more complete.

Thanks for the feedback guys, helps a lot. I try something similar bilbo, but it always looks better til I zoom out. And I always have to zoom in for detail, grrr.. You're advice helps. I"ll try from now on though.



not done yet, but fits my thread =]

Urm, one I guess, i meant for the light source to be onthe right, but I see many of the highlight on the minotaur himself are on the wrong side. Bad thing about taking a day off and coming back to a drawing. i'll fix that right away. Tnx guys =P
