Description

In the Chaos Wastes the raging fight lasts for ever and in that hell a dwarf can look like a giant...
I was forced to paint hte picture in 3 days. It was done in PhotoshopCS via Intuos 3 tablet.
Now I consider if it weren`t better to paint the bulk of dyings in front more detailed and brighter. But above all I tried to focus the audience on the dwarf.

Great color and overall a great piece. I do have a couple crits though. There should be some motion blurs to give the image more movement. Also, the biggest problem, there is no depth of field. The ogre and the dragon in the background are very clean and detailed and they should be blurred. The dragon is so clean in fact that I can't tell if it is a large dragon in the background or a miniture dragon fighting with the dwarf in the fore ground. These are only my opinions, take them as you will ;)

Very nice piece though. :)

Excellent composition - and strong concept.
I think you've got the right balance in the foreground - I like the way the dwarf seems to be part of it as well as being behind and above it.

Cool stuff here, for sure. Some of the surfaces strike me as having that plastic look (mostly on the dragons), but it's not a deal-breaker. Also, I think the limited color scheme is a good way to unify the piece and add atmosphere, but just a tiny bit more variety might add even more oomp to the action! For instance, the areas where you've brought in some greens are much more interesting to my eyes.
P.S. You've definitely done a good job drawing our attention to the dwarf figure, so mission accomplished. :)

Nice! I'd like to see more contrast in certain areas of focus - but that's beside the overall greatness of this piece. Top marks from me! :)

That is all kinds of kick-ass :)

I'd agree with much of what has been previously said, though maybe to a lesser degree when it comes to the criticisms. My only real problem is with the dragon closest to the viewer. You've done well at fading the rest back, so they appear farther away from the foreground, but that one is just too well-defined--too crisp and glossy.

The rest is incredible. Great warm, wet, sweaty colors. Great composition. And that little bit of green on the dwarf is such a nice little treat.

awesome,

one of my favourite artists on this community deliverd
a kick ass paint.
As mentioned, the dragon looks too sharp and crisp, it
strives bit too much for dominance in the pic.
I really like your almost overkill in details and dynamics.

great going + 10

This is a very good painting! There's a lot of action here, so it's very dynamic and at the same time kind of heavy.
I agree with Chickenfingers about the plastic look, but mostly I think it looks good. Only on the dragon does it ruint the pic a bit (not much though).
Anyway, nice shadows yet the pic is not too dark.
+Top score. (thumbup)

All crits was written in the previous posts, but I must add this one - the picture is very dark. Simple 'levels' function in PS can improve the look significantly. But nice work, anyway. ;)

Hmm... let me start by saying this is a truly outstanding piece. The detail is awsome, great composition and color. Top quality.

That said, I have a real problem with how passive everything seems. It has to do with facial expression and body language... I mean, the dwarf should be saying "YEAH!!! WHO'S NEXT?!!", but instead he seems to be thinking "how much longer do I have to hold this pose?".
And it's not just him, it's on all the characters (except for the shiny dragon; he seems to be enjoying himself! ). Even the big guy in the back is like " man, my arms are killing me!", instead of "AARRRGHHH!!!!"
The guy who's getting brained in the foreground... take a look at his hand. It's very relaxed. Same for that hand in the background. Those hands could be clenched into claws to show the drama of dying so painfully at the height of anger, and so with the faces. I think a bit more expression would add a lot more punch to the whole piece.

Although, judging by your previous comments it looks like it's just me. Oh. well...

Excellent! Only two crits/suggestions: 1) move the dragon the left, so that the fire isn't breathing right onto the dwarf (looks distracting), and 2) remove or diminish the prevalence of the dragon on the right (again, too distracting). Really love your choice of colours in the piece, and you've done a great job of portraying a very dynamic scene.
