[vnmribaya]

heres another try, diferent idea, diferent concpt, im not convinced with the first one, so i give another try, c and c always wellcome, cheers

[M_Cederstrom]

these has get mood and dramatic to it. :D

[chunkymunky]

I agree such great dramatic lighting, and interesting style, pretty good pose too :)

[Alisor]

I really like the second one - the mood, the dynamic pose/composition, the light and shadow balance - I would like it as a desktop wallpaper :) To me it seems very original. It really tells a story!

[vnmribaya]

thx for the coments guys, alisor, chunkymunky, MC you realy helped me to chose a comp, its one of the stages that give more problems, thanks, so i go for the second one, here s and update, i adjust the pose, add some details and texture to the ground. c&c are wellcome
i wanted to draw a blood waterfall, like mc, but in this comp have no room for it, jajaj
cheers

[M_Cederstrom]

dude it feel like you need to add some lava on the floor. :D

[Tirael K.S.]

Looks good,maybe as variant add abandoned,haunted city on background + waterfall )

[vnmribaya]

heres an update, thx for the coments guys, nice idea tirael, i draw somethign in the back like a dark haunted castle, maibe add some fire/lava later, like a lava waterfall, sounds nice, lava its coming mc, cheers

[washka]

Like the two concepts, keep it up man!

[wargrafix]

Yt385 Spring Metal Airsoft Pistol (http://airsoft-shop.info/p/yt385-spring-metal-airsoft-pistol/)

[vnmribaya]

another update, starting to search for a color palette, mood, i want to fell like a hot, sofocating hell, dark skyes above and burning ruins everywere, fine dust cover the ground, and tortured soulds wonder without direction, dragging his sins, tormented by deamons, till the end of times...

[M_Cederstrom]

wow this look great. i'm have a little trouble seeing the top corner.

[Valtteri]

Not to say that the first one was bad, but this new one is excellent. Even though I have no idea what's happening in it...but I don't even want to know :) I like it that way. And most importantly, I get somekind of feeling out of it. Very Caravaggioesque...with a weird hint of Beksinski. Or maybe those associations come from watching those two too much lately and seeing them everywhere now...anyway, nice work. I'm glad you did something unusual with the rather worn-out conquistador theme.

[Tirael K.S.]

Great work with colours,now its more realistic

[washka]

Like it!

[vnmribaya]

thx guys, tirael, mC glad u like it and thanks for the coments, washka why u are not in the comp man, you have time to open a thread, draw some lines. valtteri, glad u see the influence of those great artists in my painting, i can barely imitate the dark atmosphere of the master of claroscuro, but never be close to the weirdiness of beksinski, thanks for thtat coment, at least im in the right path, it seams.
later

[vnmribaya]

here´s an update, waht do you think about this two, just dragging your sins and being tormented for all eternity just for being a raider, slaver and a killer , or trying to escape with the loot, chased and tormented for stealinfg the gold from the tomb of papa god, c&c are wellcome and needed, cheer guys

[Alisor]

I think the color, mood, textures are excelent. Also like the detail on the armour. However, i think the chain should maybe blend in a little more with the surroundings (the color). I like better the first option, withought the treasure.
Your painting is one of my favourites:) I do like the surreal feeling it conveys :)

[chunkymunky]

Woah now that's dramatic! Just looks incredible like an old portrait from one of the grand master painters. Love the shadowing, the toning and the colouring, superb!

[wargrafix]

Wow! Really, really awesome!

Wow, the detailing is just amazing!

[jlmayen]

Wow! Very good concept and very very good painting. I love the lighting in the armor, congrats!

[Tirael K.S.]

Great !

[M_Cederstrom]

Dude you have out done your self. great, great, job. :D

[migroe]

This is amazing - the colors, the light: perfect! :-D

[washka]

Awesome job! Still like it, even better with the goldchest.
Don't know how you do that, but I really like the technique, kinda amazing.
Also fan of the exagerated posture, especially the arm line with the sword, in this case it's helping your composition and it's giving credit to the drama/weight.
Atmos concept and inspiration are quite interesting too.
I bet you'll be onto the winner list, I hope it.

Maybe I'll draw somes late lines for this comp' or a speed', I'm a bit disapointed by the outcome of the last one you know...

[repi]

Thats a really cool work man!. I like the first one more, but perhaps whit the loot scattering in the floor...imo..keep in it!.

[TimWinkelman]

This is really looking good. The arm that isn't holding the sword was bothering me in some earlier versions of the picture, but maybe I didn't understand what you were trying to do with it. In the last version where we see his arm hang down, I think maybe it is turning into a tree branch?

I am not sure if the version with the chest of gold is better. I think it could work, but right now the gold is so much brighter than the rest of the picture that it is making the composition a little unbalanced. This can probably be adjusted. maybe it would balance out better if the spirits rising from the sword were brighter?

[prosn]

it es jst astonishing buddy!............. really i like ur composition n color tone.
keep up d gud wrk....!

[tjerkotten]

Its a cool piece. I actually like the one with the treasure although it feels to me that he should be dragging the big treasure bags on his chains. So that the treasure is cursed, but he wants the gold so bad that he needs to drag the thing to wherever he was coming from. Treasure hunters don't care for anything, they only want the gold even if they have to change it in for their own lives....

So the idea of the treasure is better, only in this picture he is carrying the treasure and the old sword is cursed.

Rendering is very good. Very good...

[vnmribaya]

thx guys everyone for the kind words, critics and comments !! glad u like it, you have really help me out to chosse a direction and keep gooing. repi, timwinkelman and tjerkotten thx for the good ideas, hopefully i ll be comming soon with some of them in an update. washka, hope u draw some, and join the comp.
later...

[hardtack]

I really like the details in your painting so far. I would say that you need to flesh out the background a little more so we can see the tomb aspect. Keep up the good work.

[aby arty]

pure excellence

just the chains are troubling me a lil as they are appearing u know ... umm too stenciled, its just like u stamped a custom brush in place , wouldn't it be possible to paint thechain wit loose independent strokes, or give it more perspetive and foreshortening?

will ur tomb be resting on earth or on a wall ? ithink the bg shud cme in now at this point.

i like the tresure one too.
maybe give the mummy a lochaber axe , like its threating u to give the shinies back.

[chris_solo]

awesome stuff, render and pure style!

[vnmribaya]

awesome entries everyone! good luck guys, heres my final, thx for the suport and critics.
