Description This is something i have been trying to work on in my spare time  .  I wanted to do a beach originally then i thought why not put people on it too

Let me know what you guys think , 
do you have a favorite part ?

if you want to know how i do anything please dont be afraid to ask   I might even be able to do a demonstration video .. minus the voice , im not that brave yet hehe

I hope you all enjoy it and have a great week and weekend

best wishes

Peter AJ

no way! i wont be skimming the beach for a while with these viking pirates  around
but in fairness those two metal guys looks like Gerard Butler in disguise
and the texture of the waves  and the sands is awesome

Great job! Now I want to go at the beach and meet some vikings there XD
Problem is, the 'nearest' beach is more then 200km away

Great job,  I love the sea.
But their poses still seem a bit stiff though. They don't really look like they want to fight, they look rather bored. But the design is great

PeterAJ In reply to NetChan [2014-06-22 10:51:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much

 they have just been in the rowwing  boat for hours and hours so that is why they look bored and stiff hehehe  true story

Thanks

But they're Barabarians/Vikings, they're all into fighting!

PeterAJ In reply to NetChan [2014-06-22 12:31:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but it doesnt mean they will battle on the beach they might be coming back from battle !
also , it could be viking bank holiday XD

NetChan In reply to PeterAJ [2014-06-23 13:50:09 +0000 UTC]

Vikings are always ready to fight, time an place don't matter.
If they were just fighting they wouldn't look that clean.
If they were on holiday, well then they wouldn't look that stiff, wouldn't they? They would look much more relaxed.
NO i won't change my opinion

PeterAJ In reply to NetChan [2014-06-23 20:37:45 +0000 UTC]

I think .. you are thinking about it too much ...
maybe they want you to think that they are stiff and unprepared for battle ... after all vikings are experts on ambush !!
they dont need to do a holywood pose to get ready for battle  
Unless you think there not great fighters ?  then ... they would have to stand ready for battle

I didn't mean to offend you, I just wantet to give you an advice for your next painting.
Having tension in the poses and a proper copmosition of the image affects the overall
impression of the picture. That's all.

PeterAJ In reply to NetChan [2014-07-04 13:40:32 +0000 UTC]

DOnt worry you never offended me  
I was teasing
but yes i agree with you on having tension in the poses and good composition,
 affects the overall impression of the picture.. but i was just putting them there
as a last minute idea , it was not meant to be a serious ready for battle moment ,
and i didnt want to have a serious tension , just a quick idea thats all

And never worry you did not offend me 
I asked what you thought so i could get honest opinions so it is ok
thank you for the comments

Really great palette and contrasts! I actually am really drawn to the details in the sand, the pebbles, etc, looks like you could reach out and touch it. It is a great painting, Peter! You should be proud
