Love the movie series "Riddick", in the movie Riddick is told of the battle on his home world Furia, it was said that every Furian killed 100 Necro's and when the Furains weapon ran out of ammunition, they killed 30 more with their bare hands. This is a painting of one Furian fighting in the last battle.
The last piece seem to have strange arm proportion. The expression both man near the weapon on the ground have made them look like there still alive that my opinion.
Good catch. I will fix the arms tomorrow and upload a new piece. I have already made a few changes when I noticed your post. Thanks for the comments. I expect that there are a few Necro's in the pile still alive and wishing they weren't.
Lovely work mate! Your stuff is coming along nicely. The last piece turned out well, (I seem to remember seeing a wip of it ??) Couple of minor crits are that ear of his sticks out a little given how green the rest of his skin is, and the dwarf pose is a bit stiff given he is about to be squished.
Also....do you draw girls ever? :P
Heya Eric, yep sorry I have a tendency to be too tongue in cheek sometimes. :) That is exactly what I meant, perhaps some female characters just to add some variety, but of course there is nothing to say you shouldn't have exactly what you enjoy painting more, and if it's dudes then totally stick with it. JUst a point to mull praps. Thanks man, I appreciate it, I will hopefully get round to posting more work in the coming months and see ya on fb !
Great stuff on here, I love all these brawny monsters and the fantasy-themed action is a great defining feature of you work. The painting style you have works well too, really nice how you control the sharp to hazy sort of feel it has is used to direct viewer attention. The warmths in the dark areas is pleasing too.
In terms of crits, I would say that the thing that stands out most to me is the draughtsmanship on the figures. The actual anatomy looks OK - things are in the right place, good sense of 'fleshiness', and the exaggerations make sense and look cool - but there are occasional little structural and proportion errors that are a bit distracting. For instance, in the latest painting, the more distant hand is around the same size as the nearest one, though it could help to make the farthest one a bit smaller to indicate perspective and reduce 'flatness'. This is working way better on the giant in the Ambush picture - he is really popping out the page because the perspective, atmosphere and overlaps are doing their job.
I really enjoy the direction you are going in with all these giants though. It is a cool theme, and I like how it is a bit different.
I will defiantly keep that in mind as I move forward. I have been trying to get a greater sense/feeling of depth out of my work, I am sure adding your suggestions will help:).
I made the adjustments you suggested as well as rotating the arm a bit so that it was not parallel to the bottom of the painting.
Thanks so much your time.
