Description alright!

so, here is my go for 's contest. it is an illustrated scene of her project/novel. sorstan, the chestnut one on the left, has just betrayed his comrade-in-arms, reivig (the one on the ground. duh).

i had a tremendous amount of fun with this. i had been looking for an excuse to draw her lovely creatures for a while now, and this was the perfect one! i gave myself a few challenges too, with perspective and stuff, and i'm rather pleased with the result. this is also pretty anomalous in that it's in color (yay!) and that i made a try at a background (which i'm still ambivalent about).

still, i know there is a lot that could be fixed. like my scanner color, for instance, and also my technique. but over all, i'm pleased.

Characters and species belong to . and if you haven't already please go see her fantastic gallery and read up on these, should you feel so inclined.

but this picture belongs to me. thanks!

Lovely!!! Awesome use of perspective leading us into the scene. Sorstan's pokerface is spot on, and I love how Reivig is showing a shocked beyond words sort of expression, as though the reality hasn't quite hit yet. The scene has a sort of vignette feel, which lets us focus more on the characters and what's going on. Really like that!

Excellent work... thanks again for entering!!

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you like it! i know i didn't get the anatomy or character quite spot on, but like i said, i had a ton of fun doing it! ha, i'm glad you appreciate the vignette feel to it, even if it was simply due to my own inability to do a proper background... but it's such an important seeming moment, i suppose it's right to have the focus be on the two of them.
Thanks again!
