Wow! Amazing work! Love it!

I was wandering if you could let me us this image for an Android game called "Kingdoms of Myth", it's turn based strategy game based on a fantasy World. You can find a little bit more info in this rough website made by my colleges [link] (Sorry for the bad English). Of course you will have full credits of your work and link to your webpage if you want

Lot of thanks for your time

I like the composition, you can almost divide it up into four quarters. It feels very balanced and therefore, I think, stately.

The golden sunlight glittering the background gives such a nice feeling of the divine. The water and rocks are such rich, gorgeous colours. What a scene, it's so vibrant and alive. :3

i love this piece a lot. very beautiful. what i like about it so much though is that i see the next scene with the hand just flinging the sword at Arthur's face and it smacks him out cold ...i watch too many cartoons XD.

I think your arts are similar with classic fantasy artists like Larry Elmore, Brom, Ciruelo Cabral, Jeff Easley, John Howe, Boris, etc...
Because of this, after living years with fantasy artists, when I see this picture I feel myself at home
I think you deserve to be one of the classic fantasy artists.

One thing about picture:
I always dreamed about the lake larger. Yourself is more of a river

Keep it up the good work.

i reaaly like all your works in all your gallery ... round here ...

inspite of not beying near 15% of all your works isnt ? ...
you only choose the bests to have here ...
i ... asume ..

But this no doubt of all its the most intrinsic .... because of the moody detail complexity ....
it reaaly pays to the eye , the hours of hardwork isnt ...

Congrats !
