Last Man Standing Finished!

After a feedback session with a friend (thanks Vlad for paintovers!) I believe I have improved on the concept of this piece. Unfortunately the original high res working file was lost, so the most I can do with this one anymore is color adjustment. Re-rendering lost quality isn't in the list of my favourite things to, and I believe I have learned what I came for.

Ultimately it's my best piece yet and I am very pleased! Tried to snap as many WIP screens as I could along the way, too.

Last Man Standing colored

So, after a week or two of reading color theory I return to try coloring this thing again and I am more pleased with the result now. Still not sure if this thing is finished. Not really comfortable with the level of rendering overall, but I would say this is one of my strongest pieces thus far.

Last Man Standing

New image! I want to fill the environment with fallen combatants, weapons, arrows and destroyed structures, and feel really daunted by this task. I also want the debris and everything to support the composition.

Riddler Was Here

Somewhat related to the last post, this one is also related to a warriors. Vikings must pass this ancient trial to prove their worth. I don't know what they're after (I should, I really should, story is the most important etc etc :S) so currently that part is under construction. I am happy with the values in this one.

Valhalla

A final resting place for warrior kings. Forgot how useful flipping the image was and didn't use it until just a moment ago after many revisions and croppings.

Horrible Experiments Concluded

I am done!

This is my finished piece for conceptart.org's Character of the Week. I started designing this guy on monday, and it took the whole week to finish this thing!


Here is the CHoW thread for the finals, and here is the progress thread.
