Continuing the woman on the foreground, I was almost done when the power went off and I lost 1h of work. That was quite annoying so I'll continue that tomorrow

Couldn't work on the illustration as I wanted but here's a consolation prize, the little background illustration sketches

My computer sometimes turn itself off unexpectedly. Before shutting down it writes me that it has a "serious power system problem"... So I learned that I have to push ctrl+s every 10 minutes. This is so disturbing. I understand you. But the picture is cool, so keep up the great work.

rgdraw 2017-02-05 00:30:09 UTC #111

Yeah, I had this kind of experience and usually I do that, but sometimes I'm so focus on the painting that i forget the rest of the world and so, i don't save... then I cry for 10min xD

Crayvv 2017-02-05 02:56:01 UTC #112

Hahaha nooo 1 hour of work lost?! You should really make it a habit that you save every damn 5 or 10 minutes hahahaha. Anyway dude your work is amazing, the painting is coming to life Keep it up man youre so consistent about this work

rgdraw 2017-02-05 10:17:08 UTC #113

Thanks a lot !
Like I said usually I do, but sometimes I'm just too deep in the painting x)

rgdraw 2017-02-05 17:48:18 UTC #114

AND IT'S DONE ! Illustration finished!
Tell me what do you think and if you see anything wrong

Crayvv 2017-02-06 14:10:24 UTC #115

Damn dude it looks so good! That armor, the face and every detail is so damn insane! Although in my opinion it lacks some post processing effects, such as lens flare, dust particles and light leaks etc. but if you want this clean and clear style then it's up to you! Either way, your work is so amazing man! Congratulations for finishing it!

rgdraw 2017-02-06 15:25:31 UTC #116

Thank you very much !
But I'm against lens flare in fantasy, it feels awkward most of the time x) I actually forgot the dust particules thing and wanted to add some so, thanks for that !

sheyenne 2017-02-06 17:45:42 UTC #117

Congrats. The result worth your energy.

to improve the piece i would say check perspective on the tip of the sword, improve the overlap of the neck piece piece and lasso sharp the grass below and the branches on the left.
the details of the armor looks great (altho i suggest you to study more the metalness of materials, right now the lack of reflections in some areas make it look dusty) and the horse has a nice emotion vibe, definitely a piece that teached you to endure and i think let you learn a lot, keep going this way!

rgdraw 2017-02-07 00:21:53 UTC #119

@sheyenne Thanks a lot !
@Pregium That's the kind of comments i love thanks ! Because it's gonna help a lot! and I also hate those because it show my lack of skills x) You're right i learned a lot with this piece, especially after a long period of doing photobashing. Thanks again and good luck with your painting too!

yorieofthecastle 2017-02-07 13:14:59 UTC #120

Great job with your piece, mate! There's a thing that's bothering me (and quite a lot to be honest) - the arm that is pointing the sword towards the other character. I get that it's supposed to be foreshortened, but we're looking almost straight at her profile, so it just looks like she has one normal arm and a very short one.
Also, she has a veeeeery strong expression (which I like) but the horse doesn't seem too bothered. Maybe make his nostrils a bit more "open" or whatever? Like this

And the foreground char's lifted hand kinda looks like she has three fingers missing. It is just the pose, but you might wanna revisit that to avoid confusion.

Okay, I'm looking over the painting again and I'll have to hang you for those blades of grass in the foreground (is it even grass?). They're just single, thin, textureless brush strokes! How am I supposed to admire your beautiful painting style when that's there?? xD

~I'll go before I notice something else~~~

Oh, goddamn it! Yeah, you mentioned -two weeks ago- that you removed the "blocky" thingy from the top of her chest plate because it would hinder her movement. That is s'possed to be like a neck guard as far as I know, but it was used only in jousting tournaments, since people really liked smashing each other's lances in the face of the opponent and sometimes missed. It's not supposed to be practical and it is not supposed to allow head movement. Okay, now I'm gone.
