Very impressive update! The colors and background in general are huge improvement, they read much more clearer now and I love the subtle color variations. Great job!

darktiste, thanks, it's not a study, I painted a sketch for this painting a year ago. I did use some ref.  
CG, thanks man!

Hi guys and girls! Recently finished a sketch for another oil painting.

[RottenPocket]

Just a regular bunch of people having a good ol' time - I like it.

Really keen to see it in Oil - how large will it be? You have quite a lot of face detail here.

Question - Does the Satyr-figure have additional ankle joints?

[darktiste]

I am always surprise by the amount of people you can frame into a scene.

[cgmythology]

Oh, that's absolutely fantastic! Loving the composition and all the figure work is aces. Looking forward to seeing it painted in oil!

[Crowbit]

crazy amount of effort into this. looking sick ^^

[one_two]

RottenPocket, thanks, it's gonna be 82 x 123 cm which is roughly 32,2 x 48,4 in inches. The Satyr does have some extra joints. 
Darktiste, hold my beer
CG, thanks man, really keen on painting it in oils
Crowbit, thanks, it took a while to paint it
So here's another preparatory drawing for yet another oil painting I'm planning to make. Had lots of fun painting it. Took about 2,5 months to actually finish it. The painting size for this one is going to be 84 x 107 cm which is 33 x 42,1 in inches.

Wooooaaahhh! What a massive piece, I'm in awe with the amount detail and interaction/poses you have in this artwork . I admire your patience, this must have taken so long! I'm wondering what your biggest challenge was when you painted/planned this piece?

[one_two]

Ortani, thanks for such an emotional reaction! It took quiet some time, that's true. My biggest challenge was the perspective I chose for this painting. It's a view from above so it was hard to find references with appropriate angles and poses for these characters. Had to analyze lot's of images to draw them. Another was armor and its variety. Again, lots of searching for ref and so on and so forth..but I had lot's of fun doing it and I am happy with the result. It's something new for me. I don't usually paint action figures, moreover in 3-point perspective using view from above. 

I returned to oil painting recently and will post some WIPs of the painting I started last year.

Now i can only imagine what a timelapse of that greyscale piece would look like.
