Perfektní. Už asi minutu na to zírám s otevřenou pusou a pravděpodobně ještě dlouho budu.

Ahh that's so annoying for you, I can totally relate and it can be a real blow to the system when things fall through! Their loss though as this piece turned out real nice, the lighting creates a real epic starkness to the piece!

Je to sice asi takové to typické klišé, jakých tady najdeš spoustu, ale docela dost mě to bavilo.
Moc děkuji za komentář.

Tenhle zanr je plny ruznych klise, bez toho to neni ono. Jasne, ze uz jsem podobne veci videl, ale hezky se na to kouka. Myslim, ze temhle obrazkum slusi zmenseni, ziskaji tim na realisticnosti. Kdyz se trochu ztrati struktura malby a vyniknou vsechny detaily. (Nevim, jak to srozumitelne popsat.)

Souhlasím. Vím přesně co myslíš. Z těchhle důvodů to vždycky maluju ve větším rozlišení než je potřeba.

Jeste konkretne k tomuto Dark Gryphonovi: Vyborne oddeleni hlavniho motivu od pozadi,spravne svetlo z jednoho zdroje, barevne ladeni do modrych tonu zvysuje ponurost. Skvely povrch skalniho masivu. Peri na kridlech nevypada jako peri, ale jako krapniky nebo ostny. Coz byl mozna zamer. Ja osobne bych asi do te monochromaticke modre pridal lokalne jiny ton - rudy nebo ohnive zluty, kvuli kontrastu. Mrazivou atmosferu dobre podporuje nekolik zbloudilych vlocek.
(Kritik je ten, kdo vi, jak by to udelal, kdyby to sam umel.)

S tím peřím máš pravdu, v tom popisu bylo že má mít pera tvrdá a špičatá, jakoby kovová. Ty rudé nebo žluté tóny jsou dobrý nápad, rozhodně by se to tím oživilo. Chtěl jsem to udělat co možná nejtemnější, tak jsem zvolil takovou poměrně chudou škálu.

Rekl bych, ze to vypada tak, jak ma. A kridla jsou v tom pripade naprosto super.
