I'll admit I like your earlier work like this - a more realistic palette and contained subject - better than Warcraft-style art, which requires more garish colors and exaggeration of shapes and all - but I do know that takes skill too - and pays better, I'm sure.

Rogan! Does the word come from Age of Empires? : D
Ah, just curious. ^^ Your work is very nice, I like the heavy shines and shadows, with the added textures. They've all got a sort of hazy dreaminess to them. My favorite is shards for its color brilliance and sharpness with mean textures. Oh, but it seems that one got a daily deviation too ; )

Fantastic!


This is just semantics, but if he's right handed, why's the sword on the wrong side?

Anywho, bloody brilliant. I wish I were half so talented.

Did you give these guys permission to use this pic for their book (in the following link), or is it being stolen?

I think it's so cool that they all carry different weapons.

Holy cow. I love this one alot more than the other one. But....maybe you could darken the flying arrows? And maybe add a weird-creepy dragon-thing in the top right? Just a suggestion. Feel free to whack me over the head for non-technical terms.

It's excellent. The only thing i would have done differently is the hand holding the bow. It strikes me as a little big. Other than that, amazing!

This is a wonderful colored picture. I like the poses, the clothes and the background. I know, airbrush cannot get so much detailed, but that's the only thing I miss about the picture. Everything else is just purrfect!

WOW, the expression on the guys face, the texture of the cloths, and the shading, the castle in the backround, the guys belt, his STANCE, his bow my geezuz this is great, another favorite I just love looking at this. I also love all the fire arrows are they? falling from the sky. PERFECT battle scene.
