Occasionally I find art so good that my english is not good enough to talk about it. Therefore I can't explain why I like this painting so much I just think it is gorgeous.

I've seen many a Drizzt picture, and this one is one of the best, right next to Todd Lockwood's paintings. The softness you've created in his face is beautiful, to say nothing of the intricacy of the clothes he's wearing. Obviously, the belts and fur especially, you've done gorgeous work with his outfit!

I love Lockwood's art (he's my favorite living artist) but a lot of his paintings of Drizzt are very dark. This one is almost exactly the opposite; it's bright, lively, and displays nothing of his drow heritage (just the way Drizzt would want it to be.) I love it!

Beautiful wind effect, it sweeps your eyes up the picture.
The lighting and colors are simply breathtaking. I love how it has a light to earthy glow to it.

The textures on the clothing and leather are quite impressive. I can stare at this for minutes at a time, just admiring the finite details.

I now add you to the list of artists whose ability I envy

PopeNick6 [2007-12-12 07:46:23 +0000 UTC]

wow, this is so different than the rest of the Drizzt artwork i've seen.

Its rare to see someone depict him like that (not looking like he just had his 500's birthday)

I am quite impressed.

thnks, that was my intention at first, since it's quite disturbing for me imagining Drizzt while reading the novels with lots facial wrinkles. Well a few would be ok, but if it to much...

Firstborn [2007-09-08 11:24:45 +0000 UTC]

The vivid colours are gorgeous together in this painting! Hot brownish orange on his clothes and the intense soft bluish hues if the snow... It really makes the image "pop"!

There is some real energy in the pic, muchly thanks to the pose, his flowing hair and the expressive stern face, I think.

Only thing I could thing of that you might wanna look at, is that his green cloak is very static and not affected by any wind. While his hair looks like it is being ruffled by strong gusts of wind. It doesn't really add up for me. But maybe you already have a thought behind that? ^^ I'm curious to know.

Still, this is a really good work of art in my opinion!^^ I envy your expressive art skills!
