Bertross, what I like most about this is the character design, this is far from a human body, this is clearly a god. Also great attention to detail; hair, hands, even veins are carefully rendered. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed, i wanted him to tower a human without showing one next to him. Like when he walks it becomes an effortless motion because he is so tall and GOD like!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Bertross! This is cool. Great work.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, when you post at the bottom of the post box there is a labels section. Put your google name, the Theme name (it should pop up automatically eg. Mythology) and and any other labels in there (eg Zeus).
That way we can catologue the themes and you work easily!
Cheers!
Well done Bertross, a great pic. I dig the powerful long arms. Good luck with next weeks theme!
ReplyDeleteHi Bertross, great pic - a real imposing figure with a classical, almost sculptural feel -nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys appreciate the comments. My next piece will be in photoshop. I was on holiday and could only do this one in pencil :D
ReplyDeleteHey Bertross, great rendering!
