Hey guys

I have been scribbling on a Fantasy piece this weekend and thought I was gonna post this one to get some comments.
Feel free to give me Comments, critiques and also over-paints if you see something I could have done differently.

see you
Matthew

Woah matt, v cool indeed.
Nice one.

I'd say that you could give the woman in the foreground a little more hip-definition. it's a little lost. And both the faces of the women are very masculine indeed. In fact if wasn't for the breasts, i'd say they were both guys (ignoring their undecorated groins of course).

On top of this, I'd say you could do with pushing the background further away, probably by lightening it up fogging it a little. But only because I know you appreciate the input (second opinion at least).

There are scale issues I think. With the perspective in mind, I image in the evil guys would be lower/smaller relative to the size of the closer people on the ground.

It's cool. I'm just doing my best to see flaws Razz

hoi thats nice one ! I like the dragon thing. good shape.

The neck of the woman on the right seems to be too long and as Capt.Fred mentioned, the faces look too masculine.
The boys standing turned out very well. I think just more practise on human
drawing cause the idea is nice ! Twisted Evil

Wonderful work Matthew! Just what the people said "great pic"
You really suprised me with this image. Again. as usual Very Happy

The facial expressions are what I like most. Especially the guy on the right.
The comp, light, etc are great, you just have to work on the girls anatomy, but that's really hard. I know.

Veyr nice Matthew, keep it up mate!!!

many thanks for the input guys and I am really glad you like the idea with the piece. The main-issue for me right now is the anatomy, think I have to work really hard on that from now on.

Capt.Fred, appreciate the feedback here, weird I didn�t think that much of the perspective being a problem but I can really see it now when you mention it. I was a bit coward with the atmospheric perspective in this piece and tried to keep it low cause that is something that me usually over-work. Thanks again Capt.Fred I really appreciate this kind of feedback. btw nice speedy there your latest with acryl, you are getting very good.

XIA, many thanks XIA you are a cool guy.

see, thank you for keep commenting my stuff see, many thanks.

Max, hehe yea still trying to get better all the time but lately it has been very difficult so I am glad you like this piece. The composition and lighting was something that was put a lot of thought in so thank you for noticing it. Thanks again Max for keep commenting my stuff, you are a great friend here in Sijun. Smile

ok maybe a dragon next time, thanks again for all the comments guys. Smile

have a nice day
Matthew
