Description "The real battle starts with those who strike first...!"

This was kind of my first real battle painting ever. It was difficult to balance composition, and perspective aswell, but I think the result is decent.

This is a submission for TheLuminarium exhibit: A Soldier
check it out here: [link]

Hope you guys like this work and the exhibit aswell

That helm looks disconcertingly like a Tau helm. Any reference drawn from WH40K? Also, nice.

I like it! The robot/mech in the left center of the piece looks like the big security mechs in Mass Effect 2.

Great work! Can't offer you much advice in painting, since I'm not much of a digi painter; but I can say I think it should have a more chaotic feel to it. In the bg, there is only ONE thing on fire, is it just a little skirmish or a major engagement where's the smoldering parts littering the ground, the bodies laying everywhere, the smashed buildings? I like the smokey atmosphere, and all the individual elements are top notch, I just think it needs a bit more 'pandemonium' to it that's all

FacundoDiaz In reply to Regulus36 [2010-12-13 04:15:06 +0000 UTC]

good point, but I think the image would have been to cahotic to be comprehended by the eye if there was more destruction

Thanks

Regulus36 In reply to FacundoDiaz [2010-12-14 19:00:23 +0000 UTC]

I didn't mean more in-your-face destruction (the foreground is excellent! don't change it at all ) i was thinking more in the background, more evidence that a battle was going on, maybe just a few more things on fire in the distance
