Description Hey there my dear folks!
I've decided that it's time to move on to make other projects, so I'll be posting my current pieces, like this one. Just an idea from the sketchbook, that I decided to paint. Done in CS3 and a lotta coffee!

They are surrounded by the fog, looking for the missing piece in the puzzle... a mistery to be solved, in an electro/steam technological age.

Muito criativo! as únicas luzes e o reflexo dela na poça d'Ñgua no centro da imagem deu um contraste muito bom com a atmosfera... adorei!

Really wicked! Maaaaaan.
I adore the atmosphere portrayed here in the muted or limited colours. So bleak and post-apocalyptic feeling (especially with the heavy sci-fi element), yet with just the right tinge of medieval feel. Very unique.
Wonderful work. My gosh!

RafSarmento In reply to Dok-aLeXa [2010-11-18 16:04:57 +0000 UTC]

Heya there, thanks!!!
I'm SO glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and the muted colors - I wanted these two characteristics to work really together in this one. And thanks for the kind words, just hope I'll be able to keep it up to your support in the future (and wait for more sci-fi with medieval touchs illustrations)!

Haha thanks! The rain was so easy, took me five minutes (really) with a few digital cheatings... hah! No no, I painted pretty much most of the rain drops, seriously.

Every well drawn, I admire such talent you've expressed into this!! Absolutely wonderful texture along with fine toning, the image clear to see with well-shaded outlines. The creativity is great as intended, and I am impressed with this!! Well done, 10/10 of course!!

Thanks A LOT buddy! I intended to render this image to the limit, but nah, just thought it was a waste of time, and decided to just put the idea together at a acceptable level of painting, even if it's kinda rough - but I'm glad you liked it! See yaaaa ;>)

RafSarmento In reply to DreddaBrutallac [2010-11-18 16:11:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks haha but the details are not THAT "detailed", in fact, I tried to keep a more impressionistic feel to the subjective elements...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

DreddaBrutallac In reply to RafSarmento [2010-11-18 17:07:34 +0000 UTC]

No, i didnt mean ot THOSE details
I see that impressionistic line in ur work and thats what makes a good atmosphere and good story in it, but there are some details that i cant see clear, that would probably give clearer idea whats going on here... for example, i dont see what is this mounted guy, obviously very important dude, wearing in his arms, probably thing that is more important than him...
Its making me curios, thats a good thing, but it pisses me off that i simply cant enlarge it and find out more
