Description Here is some of the details of the army below. Like some of the latest films I admire where you see epic scenes or armies, I tried to find a way to create an army without painting each character. I also didn't want to copy and paste in photoshop so I found a 3d solution.
What I did is I painted a few soldiers flat in 2d then I mapped them to flat 3d planes and multiplied them by the thousands in perspective. I also built a rough 3d posable soldier and created diffrent pose states and multiplied them by the hundreds in perspective. This way I can put the 3d posable soldiers nearer to the viewer while putting the flat soldiers way in the back. Not unlike what you see in films just that it didn't cost me millions, I used a cheap old program called "Imagine for windows".
Once I got everything in place then I painted on top to integrate the 3d elements with the rest of the painting.

So much fun and very challenging.

It was a time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Arias. There was an age undreamed of and unto it, Conan! destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow, and it is I, his chronicler who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

well it certainly paid off. I didn't think the ideas behind Weta's MASSIVE could be applied to art so ... logically (albiet probably not simply)

That is some crazy detail. Interesting technique on the army though, that's definitely something to look into. Not that I ever do anything this complex. Totally wicked, how big was the final image?
