Description Version 2 (and thats as far as I'm taking it )

------ ----- -----

After a very disappointing first release, mainly because I am over critical and knew I could finish it better, I have finally got to a point where I would consider this 'finished'. that's not to say it is... more that I'm leaving it where it is. Either that or spend the rest of my life trying to get it right

I have fixed a few things bugging me from version 1, namely the colour balance, details to make each character more individual and tried to fix the flames in the foreground. Not entirely happy about the champion/front skelly, but I'vegone through about 3 or 4 new versions of it before I was 'happy'.

This has taken me about 2 weeks of tweaking, i've probably put more work into this than any of my previous work trying to get it to work. I suspect I should have junked it and started again, but maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself

Modelled and Rendered in 3DS Max. Parts of the skeleton are taken from a Poser model. Shields, Armour and weapons created from scratch in 3DS Max. Composed and detailed in Photoshop with some work undertaken in Illustrator.

Comments and chocolates appreciated.

Holy crap! That's AWESOME!!! Your attention to detail is astounding; I am highly impressed by the wood grain on the shields and the other textures in the metalwork, bones, etc..... And the colors are GREAT! Β‘Me gusta mucho! Keep up the excellent work!

only problem i can find is that there are a few tangents created by weapons and bones.. and even though the focus is SO clear.. they still detract from it a bit.. but.. by no means would i say you need to change it.. this looks great

I am happy to see you revisited this, it was well worth it! Everything I commented on last time has been resolved, and brilliantly at that. I particularly like how you removed used the colours effectively this time (the skeltons' red, overpowering the ambient blue), the skeleton poses are great (love the guy with the one eye) and the flame on the leader is now quite awesome. Good work!
One thing maybe... the composition is not symmetrical. That would have been nice

OH MY... hmm... some of the skeleton's look like they're made of metal... only faint wisp of criticism I can think of is tey should be dirtier... this is scary/awesome/pretty
