Description
With every hateful blow, Gealante poisoned the minds of the Elf. His dark enfluance instilled doubt into the kings mind. The fear of his own mortality danced at the edge of his courage. The harder he dealt each blow, the hotter the grip of his blade burned. "Would Hoisus let this be the end of the Elf?" he thought to himself. "Would she abandon us in the hour of greatest need?" He took care not to let his mind slip to far from the battle less the dagger pulled from the heart of Malirch would sever it. "No, she will kiss the gal of my hate and guide it to the flesh that burns with rot. She will be with my brothers in my stead."Pulling his sword up for what he knew would be the last time, he found his anchor and prepared for his final lunge.
Well, here it is. The second peice. I guess if everyone likes it, I'll keep going. Heck, I probably will anyways. This little bugger took me eight hours, and I started at one AM. So needless to say I envested a lot of strenght into finishing this one, but the end result felt satisfying, so here it is. Lemme know what you think, even if you hate it.
I went in and brought out the contrast, due to popular demand.

details are unimaginable and provoke a true reality to the sci-fi piece. Could use a little more contrast, but it's a fav.

Cool story and nice drawing. I agree that it could use more contrast, as well as a little more distinction between the characters. All-in-all, though, this is still a good piece.

very interesting piece, but would be nice with some true blacks and more tonal difference between the characters. your design skill is very good. but turn this sketch into a finished piece! i think it needs a little more work! you are off to a good start!

I've always had a problem with perfect black, but I think I'm getting better the more I get into it. Thanks for your thoughts.

in a way, I think I prefer the lightest one

I appreciate you saying that. I agree with you completely. I really wanted the armor of the elf king to almost glow in the contrast of Gealante. I got a lot of critiques saying that they sort of blended together, so I went back and drew in more detail. Althogh I did get a more realistic image, which in this case wasn't necessarily what I wanted, I lost the fairy tale essence. Sigh. I guess that's what happens when I second guess myself. I really am glad you liked the old one. I was very pleased with it.

That's unbelievable.
wow 8-o
the details, the composition, the postures of the characters, the shading, all of this is perfect. I looked in full view and it was all the more stunning.... just the fact that the first eelf is not enough seperated from ... is it Gealante ? ok nevermind..
I'm really impressed by the shading in fine lines... it's so expressive and in the same time so regular.
I love the wings of the elf-woman. They're simply amazing.
more ! more !

hmm...the basic drawing rocks ass but u need to add more contrast...it kinda all melts into each other.....

That's what they keep sying. The problem wasthat both of the characters were at the perfect shade for what I wanted, and I'm trying to stay away from definitive lines. But I'll see what I can do. Maybe Glealante could stand to be a tad darker. Thanks for the opinion. Hopefully I can use it for good.

Nice story nice ideas.Good drawing and character detail. But the shading gets in the way. I think it may need more contrast between the figures. I didn't see the king elf at first glance. Just a mash of pencil detail.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't realize you coud rate the pictures. How do you do that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
me neither. There is a guide somewhere by a member. But I forget his system(have to hunt him down again) He said "Use star ratings!!"
they're emoticons.
there's a star=star (
star half empty=star-half (
and then star empty=star-empty (
Then you make a 1-5 rating and viola. create them in a line.
he also used all superman signals for very exellent work. I don't know the code for that
