the new updates, and features, also shenanigens have forced me to switch profiles, my only regret is that I didn't pick a better name... ah well, nevermind eh?

This took me about 3 hours in photoshop. It's not how I normally draw; I prefer not to use black lines to define form, but this was sort of an experiment to incorporate other styles into my own.

It was also a colour theory experiment for me. You'll notice the clouds and the way the Spartan's armour reflects the plasma bolt, the sky and the ground. To be honest, I still have a lot of work to do in that respect but I'm fairly happy with what I've ended up with.

Thanks for looking.

Positive vibes.

Wow. That's very good. Like seriously, I love it.

Did you use a tablet to paint that, or did you just use the regular paint brush?

:)

Pretty good, but I see a few things you need to work on. First the concept between the rocks that the spartan is on and the background looks very different. (It looks a little bit blurry) Also you should make the Spartans left leg more visible, I had to zoom in the picture so find his foot. (and it looked like he was balancing on one leg) But Overall very nice job on this piece, and you should make some more.

I used a tablet with photoshop CS4.

The blurriness might be something to do with loss in the file format. In the .psd, it's all pretty sharp but like I said, it was an experiment. I was trying to draw the eye to the foreground by defining it with black lines. I guess I'll keep trying ;)

It's pretty kickass for an experiment but there is something about the leg. Keep up the good work

Forever praise Lord Jesus Christ, The Father, The Holy Spirit, the one true Lord Almighty God, and bless all forever in His holy name :)

You did really good on the coloring. That's what I need to learn because I got the drawing down pretty good. Anyway again good job.
