Like the dragon bone barbarian painting - I practiced a more painterly approach with this one. Composition, shape, silhouette, depth, lighting etc. were important in this process as well.
Wow! Such a unique style and such a great and intriguing character. Monstrous and elegant at the same time. Fantastic depth and atmosphere in this piece. I especially admire the enormous amount of detail and texture on body particularly the head and shoulders. Great work.
Very glad you like it!
Yeah - I should force myself to paint more environments, anyway - so, maybe I'll do it soon
Maybe the time will come - think, that I could promote myself much more...
