[Ex-Musketeer]

Such Darkness

You have such a raw feeling in these pieces. You easily portray such darkness and what seems to be evil in these characters.
I love the lighting that you not only have from above the character but also the glow of the embers from the under him as well.
I am also enjoying the shear amount of detail that you have placed over the entire thing. I feel like you have left no stone unturned.
Looking at the high resolution I can't help but be even more amazed at how far you have taken this. I really have to say congratulations on such and achievement.

[The dark lord rises]

Cthulhu, YAY!!!

Really cool man. I like the over all style of this piece. it looks easily pro quality. could easily see this in a comic book or a solid trading card.
Excellent job!

Thanks for the supporting words dude

Ooh....

Such a dark and brooding piece. I love it. The creature reminds me of a dark elf. The skin seems to have a dark lavender tint with light colored eyebrows and hair. It just seems like a draw.

I think the absents of light in this really make this worthwhile. You get the feeling of isolation of a magic user studying by them selves. Outcast from society because of there heritage. It seems like something dark may mature from this person and the way they have been treated by the world.

very nice.

i love your in-depth reviews! it's always great to hear people bring their own interpretations to a piece. thank you!

[Fears]

Lighting Is Everything

In this piece it truly is. More than design and or composition, Lighting is truly King of this piece.
You have done well in making the shadows obscure so much of the piece. and with the title of "Fears," it is that part that we cannot see that makes this an ACE. This also seems to have the theme of the light in the dark, and the theme of hope.

I want to congratulate you on such an awesome piece.

Many thanks

Good

I am really loving the low angle and the lighting anf shadows. The muscle work on the back is quite nice as well.

I think you could have widened the bottom of each of the legs a little to give a little more illusion of us being under the character, Down side is it would probably make the character look like he is bending back much further than he already is. Although considering the piece, I think that would be ok and fit in nicely with out much complaints.

[Living Armour]

Dwarven?

Considering the proportions, this looks and feel like that it was made by dwarven smiths. That is kind of a moot point, but I just had to throw it out there.

I think you have done an great job with the color and giving this thing a sense of weight. The lighting is spectacular.
On the toes of the boots I would have liked to seen a really strong highlight. With the light source above, much of the legs would be out of the direct light, but I think the tips of the boots would poke out just enough to catch a good solid glint of light.

I do enjoy this piece. I think it is very good. I'm glad it is in my favorites.

<deleted> responds:

hmm, good point. thanks!

[Hell Knight]

Gender Aside...

This Is pretty awesome. It got a favorite for a couple of reasons. One being cause it is very well done, the other cause a friends of mine is playing an Hell Knight right now in a campaign.

I love the texture and style of the armor. I think the it comes off very well over all. You have also done a excellent job with the lighting in this. This has a wonderful consistent style over the entire piece.

<deleted> responds:

cool! thank you very much.

[Angry Faic 360 Controller]

Cool

Pretty solid job over all, I really like it.

Seeing this makes me want to do one of my own.

[Kingdom Lost]

Again.

A spectacular job.
You know one thing I like about this above all else is the armor. You didn't just do the nice shiny armor that most expect, you actually put up this nicely warn armor.
You can tell it has seen its share of action as well as its share of up keep.
really nice.
