Description
==================================Pealkiri : SΓ΅jasalk II
Title (eng): War party II
Media: A4-sized paper, ballpoint pen, pencils (HB, 2B, 4B),
blending stick, GIMP for color adjustments on scanned work
References: characters (except the snail) from game
"HoMM V: Tribes of the East"
==================================
Apparently an orcish war party has stopped to let the snail cross the road as trampling over the snail brings no honor even to these savage warriors...

I'm quite unsatisfied with the shading on this work. Any comments and advanced critique about shading is most welcome.

Well, yes, probably HoMM V creators were influenced a little by the Warhammer

you have really rendered the mood of a wintery setting! and i also think you've done a good job distinguish foreground/background in terms of tone; if you are unhappy with the shading perhaps next time you could think where you want to have most detail and make the shading most sophisticated and tonally diverse there and leave the rest of the shading more uniform for areas of lesser detail.
hope it helps

Thank you for the comment and advice
In this picture, lack of contrast between tones seems to be the main issue, but I can also blame my LCD monitor for this. I agree that some more serious planning is necessary.

Not only does this have loads of armour reference in it, it also has a snail, which is one of my favourite animals ever ! I love it
