YEAH! Wow, really fantastic painted picture my Dear - Really intersting interpretation of maybe future events in comic ^^ - Well but I still wonder and ask myself why Dakkan have sword... Not in the sense from where he got this (I think that kill with quin quard) but I see that maybe by these all bloody events during this slaughter battle make that finally he don't fear blood...

Why thank you! You made a very interesting point about Dakkan holding the sword covered in blood - perhaps he did overcome his fear of blood (not completely but it is showing progress). A combination of the recent experience at the Deltrada castle, his mistreatment and survival instincts was just enough of a push to make him do the deed. Let's see how things go from here!

Also you got some lovely illustration works yourself! I noticed that you are into your details. Keep at it!

Indeed I have the same theory like you Elson - I think that with time he will be able to fight with sword like Kenosh, which I think is better than stick, because with stick of course you can defend enemy, but I think that this take more time than perfect fast cut in throat with sword Xd But I still wonder why from childhood he fear blood... Hmm... (Or I don't read Carefully descriptions, or there is not yet explantion for it Xd ) ... Well I am Constant guest of our Salmon Party (As Jakub Zawadziński Xd ) But in last time I don't write comments often, because as you said - I put this time to training my drawing skils Xd - Well I am Big fan of BWD, I love it; well I create my fantasty medieval world Based on the culture of the Slavs and Vikings from early medevial dark times - little silmilar to BWD but I don't based on this, I try do it in my own way (But still love BWD world ^^ ) Well of course as you see I know your art, and really like your art, I realy love your comic voices "movies" ^^ - So I am reallyhonorable to hear that you like my drawings, Although I'm still learning ^^ -  Huh I don't want that you do think that I'm gonna do begg for watch now Xd - But If you want and you intersting in Medevial cool stuff and anthro medevial fantasty world like BWD, I ivite you Elson to follow my yet modest gallery, because still I draw new drawings with fantasty Anthro Slavs and Vikings warriors, scenes from their live, wars, etc. - I know that for now it is just pencil and Ink, drawed in traditional way - not yet digital art, but still I I develop my abilities and style with every new sketch and drawing ^^ Xd - And still I have new ideas to new drawings assosiaced with early medevial cool times ^^ - Anyway my First Art Goal to future times is realizated my own medevial comic story for which now I preapre all these drawings, characters, etc. But this is far future - I am on start of that way where is Alex and Rachel Xd Huh  - Okay, Thanks for your warm words, Maybe I will once yet write on Salmon party (Now I just follow and read new comments, which always give me a lot of laught Xd ) And I hope to draw once yet Dakkan and Quinlan Xd Slava! ^^

I like that you've managed to achieve such a detailed piece in watercolour, it can be a very unforgiving medium at times. The lighting and colours look great!

darkspeeds In reply to GirlGamer12 [2017-04-26 07:26:34 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It definitely is an unforgiving medium. The one I'm using (digital application) has it's technicalities but it's nowhere near as difficult as the real thing. Mixing colors is the thing that gets me every-time.

Said before on Twitter how much I loved this, now I just wanted to comment on how much I love the watercolor here! The contrasting red/blue scheme works really well!

Great that you picked out those details in the color palette! The cools in the blue and warms in the reds from flame and stone.

That detail is simply astounding, especially with the various shadows and shading/lighting in the picture. The colors looks fantastic and I love how the sky in the background came out along with the characters.
