Rita Ria 2005-12-13 Wonderful work, Patrick. Even your "Conan" is fantastic - I even love the background more...;)   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks, Rita! I thought it was an interesting coincidence that the last picture I put up (Ithaqua) also has an "Ice cave" theme. That one was done almost a year ago, so I like this one better. :) Bill Corbett 2005-12-13 excellent and professional as always Patrick - great to see :)   (Patrick McEvoy) Glad you like it Bill! It was a fun one to work on. Simon Dominic 2005-12-13 Ooh, that'll sting later. Great textures going on there, with a very pleasing overall ambience. I like the way the figures are detailed against the misty background too.   (Patrick McEvoy) Yeah - ouch!! Thanks a lot, Simon! Epilogue Guest 2005-12-13 Crimony! Judging from the distance of his right and left arms, I'd say that our wild eyed barabrian from the north has just cut this man in half diagonally! Intense!   (Patrick McEvoy) :) Yeah, that's the idea! It's supposed to be a little "subtle" (as subtle as cleaving someone in two can be!) but you can see a bit of daylight through the gore. Heiko Wagner 2005-12-14 Yes Patrick,this looks very cool.I like the mountains in the background and the poses of the figures.Also the shadows and the shining parts on the helmets,the muscles and the axe.A masterpiece...   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks, Hieko! I'm glad it succeeded so well for you. :) Uwe Jarling 2005-12-14 Wow Patrick, this one has a fantastic overall feeling, very pleasing to look at, well not that plasing for poor guy cut into two half ;-). Another thing that i really love is that you got that oil painting look more and more with your digital pieces, really great. Would be too interesting to see a high resolution file of this piece to study ;-)   (Patrick McEvoy) I'm using Painter more and more - probably about 50% with this one - so there are more of the nice scumbling and glazing things you can do with it. Thanks for the nice words! :) Chris Malidore 2005-12-14 Well I'd have liked to see more drama from the victim there, some combat stance, but hey - this explains why he's all bloody now ;). I do adore the lighting though of the Conan character and the ice caves... that rawks.   (Patrick McEvoy) Hey, glad you pretty much like it, Chris! To tell the truth, since the client asked for Conan to be cleaving the guy in twain (as it were) I just made the decision to have the fellow look pretty darn hapless and victim-like. Conan, the force of nature, ripping through some poor schleb. Well, it amused me, anyhow! :) Dan Harding 2005-12-19 Amazing work! Top notch piece. It deserves to be a cover.   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks much, Dan! Fingers crossed on that... :) Epilogue Guest 2007-05-03 Wow. The whole picture is amazing but the thing that really caught my eye was the blood trailing off from the axe as it comes out of the guy. Very well done.   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks a lot! I was proud of this one, and took some time to have fun with some of the details. I'm glad you noticed! :) Post a Comment
