Well it sure could be a great time being here with the community...but when our art is not ultra-super-catchy (and of course less "skilled" or whatever) or also simply because we cannot see every topics for sure or when you started just little week(s) before it ends (for instance)...it's hard to get any form of help.

That's why I probably take more time in other topics than my own :joy: (and I sure do know you do much much as well for the others and lots of other artists too !).
Also I don't like anymore my artwork so...no I can't change it anymore with little time left (plus I have some commissions and gifts and other stuffs to finish T-T so sad time...it's never easy to deal with everything - and yes I know I talk too much too :laughing: ).

Still I talk really less time than previous Artwars 1, 2 & 3...also because sometimes I feel my help is maybe out of good points, or crappy explained (with my poor english).

Anyways that's only the time to cheer us all, go go go Artwar community, you all rock !!!
And see you all next year of course :sunglasses:

I said it plenty of times already but: incredible work!!! You did something so epic and impressive, congrats on finishing it!!!! And wish you the best!!!

Feb '20

I'm so stoked to see this finished!! I've been stalking your progress for a bit just eagerly awaiting the final. xD It's so epic.

Feb '20

YES YESS! Great job finishing this drawing! it looks absolutely fantastic! ^^
I've been lurking around for a while before I started posting anything myself and I always dropped by in your thread to see how you were progressing.
I think you can be super proud of what it looks like in the end!

I'm happy to see you finished it despite the last troubles, the piece really deserve it.
It's awesome to se that all that backstory is very well depicted in Phaedrus face and gesture.
Great work!

Ahh omg thanks so much guys! I really am so proud to have finished it and that even after all this time working on it it came out well! I'm not religious but the thought of two gods battling it out at the mercy of the mortals is always something so epic! I appreciate all the kind words.

@Serfer
Yeah same, thankfully I didn't struggle too much with Phae's posture or his expression. Unfortunately I know his foot anatomy is wrong and I can't stop looking at it lol or the fact that it looks a little like an animal leg

@nyamesis
Awh thank you so much!

@mr_dessin
Ahh I'm glad you enjoyed it! It doesn't matter if anyone talks too much, I personally find it a compliment haha I appreciate your kind words!

Feb '20

Ahh you're welcome and thank you so much to be so kind (with everyone).
I really hope this was not looking like a rant or something...stress is a bit high here (even if that's not necessary :joy: )

(All) Your work is certainly hyper epic, can't wait to see you in the finals amongst the best illustrations and master artists : 3

Feb '20

Bloody marvelous job, good luck and looking forward to seeing you next year!

Feb '20

Damn this really turned out! Really beautiful work here, dude. Been a pleasure to watch this one come to fruition. Good luck to you!

Feb '20

@aredondocg
Thanks so much!
@sani
I'm glad you enjoyed it too, it's been a heck of a ride but certainly worth it!

@br00dley
Yeah you too, thanks!

@mr_dessin
There's nothing wrong with ranting as long as something comes of it lol I appreciate the compliments!

Well yeah, we will always be seeing mistakes after we thought it is finished, but at certain point we have to let them go but try to have them in consideration for the next pieces.

This came out so great! The lava/magma and sword, the light from above, it all just has an epic feel that would go perfect with some intense orchestral music! !

your entry is amazing. if you have time i would try to fix your small people. everything in your image has lots of energy and the small crowd is stiff. like, put that flying rock in the right corner or make it less contrasty. the characters there take attention away from your epic drama. id also make the rocks pointy because they just broke and haven't had time to become rounded by erosion.

Feb '20

Oh thank you so much for this! I will add this real quick

Feb '20

Alright I added the bit of extra rock and worked on the others a tad too. I think it does help, helps the composition a lot so thank you!

Feb '20

Wow! The volumetrics make the characters look massive. Really cool.

Feb '20

I really love your painting but be careful not to overdo it now (I struggle with that, too ^^°)

Feb '20

@Motocrab

Thanks! I'm glad it shows well, I haven't ever painted a character this big before. And while I used tonnes of ref, it's difficult to match everything up and get the perspective right at the same time xD

@EllyettWee
Thanks! And it's common for me to overdo things, I could probably get rid of some stuff to make it clearer but at the same time I love the chaos of it all, I tried my best to make method of the madness so I hope it shines through at least!
