Anne El-Habre 2003-06-23 Way to got, Tom - this came out fantastic! Your background is amazing and the skeletons are a nice touch!   (Tom Lavelle) Im really glad you like the backround, have been trying to improve in that area, so im psyched thier gettig noticed,thanks Anne... Ihsan Alnasrawi 2003-06-23 Wow, Tom, this has come out very well! I took another look at the original and I can see some of the stuff you've added/changed, like the rock formation on the left. The stand-out for me (as you can probably guess!) is the work you did on his physique - tremendous - as it's even stronger with the colour. Great work!   (Tom Lavelle) Thanks Ishan, I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the digital as I do more of it, learned alot with this one, the pencil start was a big help, I really like that mix (pencils & digital), and will be doing alot more of it.... Bill Corbett 2003-06-23 This is excellent Tom!! you've made the coloring look like watercolor. The fleshtones look great, well just everything looks good really!! Ooo I feel inspiration coming on!! :D   (Tom Lavelle) Thanks Bill, Im glad this looks traditionally done to you, was trying for that look, also really appreciate your comments and support... Christine Kotlark 2003-06-23 This is excellent! The anotomy could't be any more perfect. The background is stunning! :)   (Tom Lavelle) Hey thanks Christine, thats a great compliment:) Denny Ho 2003-06-23 colorized! excellent skin tones and that right arm is so cool! i just love the setting you have him in.   (Tom Lavelle) Thanks Denny, following the original pencil tones helped alot, glad you like the way it came out... Gwynne Jones 2003-06-23 Ooh, I loved this in monochrome, and in colour it really breathes. Cheers!   (Tom Lavelle) Well thanks for your kind comments Gwynn, and looking to see some new art from you... Carina Kadow 2003-06-24 Those flesh tones are just beautiful... And I like how you managed the border between his horsebody and his humanparts. I think that's the most difficult part at a centaur.   (Tom Lavelle) Your right on Chalcara , that was the most difficult area (blending torso's)and thank you for noticing... Carina Kadow 2003-06-24 Sorry for double posting But I've just noticed his tail! It's POINTED like a devil's tail. *snickers* Now THAT's unusual for a centaur. I like it! You've put that much detail in this image, that every look on it reveals so much new things. That must have been such a lot work!   (Tom Lavelle) Hi Chalcara, dont worry about the double posting, Centaur Scout likes the attention, being a kinda dark character I threw the devil tail in to ad to that feeling, and painting over the pencils went faster than I thought it would , just followed my pencils carefully, the original pencils and composition & reference seemed to be most of the work ,also looking forward to your next character....and thanks for your interest...its well appreciated.. Patrick McEvoy 2003-06-26 Even better in color! a lot of subtleties popped out in this version - for some reason the reflections are especially wonderful in this one. Very fine work!   (Tom Lavelle) Hey Patrick, thank you ,Im trying to work on developing and improving my painting, so im glad you like this and find it better than the last version, im always looking in your gallery to see how you handled things , and your comments always inspire me.... Erika Thorpe 2003-06-29 I love this image particularly because I'm a sagitarius and the centaur/ bow and arrow is the symbol of my sign....but aside from that I really love the muted color palette and the composition. Excellent work!   (Tom Lavelle) Hey Erika, I thought some one would pick up on that sooner, Im also a sagitarius(12/1), also thanks for your nice comments on this... kulbongkot chutaprutikorn 2003-06-29 O_O *stares* wow.. so.. hot.. does he exist? ;)   (Tom Lavelle) Hi Kay, and yes , his name is Lucio, a buddy from the gym I go to...
