Thanks Sussi1

Thanks for the comments and crits guys. Tector: I have no idea what you're on about with 'squadrons'

Well, it's been months since I posted anything, been in one of my periodic hermit phases. I'm just starting to re-emerge into daylight so I thought I'd post this. It was painted as a tutorial for a magazine and was designed to show that an image can be painted using relatively simple methods and with a minimum of brushes (3). Hope you ...

Welcome, nice work. I like the loose style

Nice image, but as someone has already noted, the figure and the background don't gel. It's the fact that the figure leans toward realism and the background cartoon.

Nicely detailed The small of her back looks a little odd, it's probably one of those things that is technically correct but looks off.

Nice work on the fur

Love the lighting on the swords

A different take on a picture I painted lots of traditionally, Charge of the Light Brigade. At this res it's a little difficult to see the oil paint effects but the full size image is about 300M, so this'll have to do

Nice That's how vampires should be, they might rip your throat out, but at least they look good while they're doing it :D I watched '30 days of night' last night, the vamps are seriously nasty :) Btw, I don't think you should colour it either, looks good as it is.
