Description "Departure" is the second book in the Redemption Trilogy by Alanna Abbott. The first book being "Into the Reach". It was painted in oils on a very large gesso board.

I apologize if the color is a little off, my photoshop is still wonky since I updated everything and it's not wanting to colormatch correctly, so still working on that.

Beautiful Cover! Makes me want to know the story. On of this days I have to print your chapters and read them. Been too lazy cause they are in english.

My book cover also has a mirror -- [link]

Very beautiful work. Love the details.

The armor on the guy in the front is plain awesome. And I really love the background.

Holy Crap Linz...Do you ever have an off day?

As per usual, this piece is stunning. I love the sunlight streaming through the windows...adds that oh so realness to this piece. Kiddo...if I were wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you!

great work! i love the textures and details - everything seems to work fantastically well together. for me the best part was the lighting that's coming through the windows. absolutely one of your best newer pieces.

These would probably benefit from being upladed set to more than 600 pixels wide, but very nice anyway.

Okay, so something wierd is going on with the mirror and the elf has something to do with it. I like how the elf's bright clothing contrasts with her dark skin.

woooow I think your last two pictures are better than what you did before... so many details and a wonderful technique!

only one critic: why do you allways put this huge copyright on the picture... and they are always so small

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LinzArcher In reply to Mona-san [2007-03-07 22:10:23 +0000 UTC]

It's to prevent image theft, which I have experienced in the past.

Mona-san In reply to LinzArcher [2007-03-08 18:39:16 +0000 UTC]

oh okay, I understand that... but isn't it enough when you keep the picture small and hide the name in the picture?

LinzArcher In reply to Mona-san [2007-03-08 19:06:50 +0000 UTC]

Well, i'm sure there are plenty of people out there with photoshop that don't even find my watermark an obstacle.
