Grats on finishing it! It's a shame you didn't have more time but honestly you got a lot done and you should be proud. It came a long way from where it started so I call that an achievement for sure. And personally I like the purple, creates some of those cooler tones that the piece needed. Good luck with your work and with the competition!

Thanks again. I learnt heaps and am pretty chuffed (post adding the fire 🙏) with the result. Now I just need to increase my once every few years effort to something a bit more regular...a New Year resolution of course 😑

erm…cough...I seem to have been bitten by the bug...so I am back tidying some stuff up. I actually did quite a lot in tidying up the layers, modifying the shadows and lights. Plus I played around with the scale of both characters - bringing the main character forward and pushing the secondary character back plus increasing the scale of the foreground barbed-wire. Tell me what you think, please....

OK. So here I am at the finish line again. Definitely no more pottering from me. Learnt heaps. Appreciate the communities help. Two images below: one, a composite to show the journey (mostly for my benefit); and two, a medium quality version of the final image.

So it turns out I gotta put the high quality up into the thread

The scaling up of the character and the other additions you made actually made a pretty big difference! Didn't expect to see you back but glad you had a bit more fun in the end xD

Surprised me too! Both the change with a few tweaks and the being back. I really appreciate your crits in particular. Good luck with your piece (which is fantastic btw) and I'll catch you in Art War 5...definitely finished with this one. Gotta work out what to do next to force myself to practice.

The barbed wire in my final image has been annoying me for a couple of weeks as it was a bit of a rough and rushed job. So I have updated the barbed wire and one of the secondary character's boots (which was also annoying me as it become a bit fuzzy). Definitely complete now...
