I freakin' LOVE this... one of my favorite 'casters captured so expertly. The kinetic feel of this piece is spot on too. Would love to see Haley3 (Commander Haley?) be a spear-wielding maniac like this.

Very nice coloring. I like her pose and her facial expression. The steam punk theme is fantastic. Well done!

Was this just for fun?
It's lovely work, but I find the posture of her upper torso a little hard to get straight in my head. If her head is bowed and shoulders curled such that they're at the same level, shouldn't her breasts be higher up the image and the armour plate tilted to follow the torso?
I know the human body can do some odd things that we wouldn't expect, though, so that might just be me not being able to see it. Did you work from a reference that we can compare it to?

Yes, just for fun.
The foreshortening in the torso is off... the only reference I used was in the mirror with a broomstick behind my back and since I don't have boobs, it translated to canvas a bit wonkie.

LOL! Fair enough. It was nit-picking anyway. It's a great image. It's excellent to see a new interpretation of the Warmachine world.

I scene a hurt locker on some really bad people. Or someone. O_O
Great job! The Shading and the energy layers look freaking outrageous.
The Detail of your character is really awesome.
And you misspell Captain. But it forgivable.

This is what I would expect to be on official posters. It's beyond awesomeness.
I really hope for other factions

Superb work in many ways. Lighting and detail are excellent!

Okay, just finished the last one...
Lightning is so good. And you have a different arcane circle! Costume seems a combination of base and epic; smaller cloak, exposed hair, not pole dancing, mechanical arm...
Good armor in most areas; did not expect the filigree on the shoulders, mechanical wrist guard, or abdomen guard, but it works. The faux scale-mail leggings not so much. Definitely didn't need the seam on the right leg. The mesh on the right arm seems much more reasonable.
The four swans here seem a bit much, probably because Haley herself is a very recognizable form (cloak, mechanical arm, steam armor, big spear, but not a fighter) and doesn't really need a bullseye on her chest. Shoulder pads make sense, but the painted piece on her chest just draws the eye there.
Mind you, it is a very nice chest. Works as a clasp on the gun, though.
I think the posture of this one keeps it from working. While it feels very dynamic and awesome at first glance, repeated viewings and analysis take away from it, where Amon continues to look incredible.
Amon is simply standing and exploding with menace and power.
Haley is crouching slightly, holding a spear behind her in a posture that just doesn't work from a combative stance. She'd have to swing it about either by the head, which doesn't work and takes a very long time, or by the haft... which still doesn't work.
Amon, at his goofiest has a "GIVE ME A HUG" look... and tell me that wouldn't kill you.
Haley has her head bowed, body twisted, cape flung up behind her, and seems to be hanging onto her spear, like she was just struck by some great wind.
It's a damn shame, because almost all of the technical aspects are there; you've got great detail ignoring the scalemail leggings. The shadows are great, multiple lighting effects, there's a great sense of motion... but that damn pose...
And I like cheesecake, but with fire and lighting and full armor... it just doesn't work. Beautiful piece, but I gotta say Amon's is better.
Maybe Denny in that pose? Skarre would look awesome with both blades back, and the horns make it look like she's about to ram someone.

DAMN!! you've seen past my effects glamor to discover my pose bungle... This was brought up several times on the PP forms (which I assume you're familiar). Alas, I was already knee deep in rendering before I "SAW" for myself the problems I had created.
I had debated not even posting this one but seemed like a such a waste not to.
Thx again for the comments!

As good as they can be, I suppose. Not doing nearly as much art as I should be these days. Between work and my addiction to painting Warmachine models, I no longer have any idea of what free time is. Oh, to relive those halcyon days of community college, lol.

lol, at least your painting models! that's an art in itself.

It's true! Now if I could only find where I stored my digital camera when I moved, I'd have something to upload, lol.

Well um.. um.. I just don't know what to said. It is just Marvelous!
Since now when I will pick Epic Haley to play I allways will have that picture in mind
