Artist's Comments

A commission artwork for an unannounced project. Painted in Photoshop almost entirely, with a little bit of matte. I learned alot from this piece, trying to get the most realistic lighting and water reflection without reference. I'm happy with it. :)

In the far away land of warriors and socceries, those who seek glory in the Underworld must venture through the dreaded passage of the Great Swamp. Rumors has that, only those who gained the favor of the enchantress may cross the swamp on great lilies.

Old and ugly one-legged dog. He is horrible and lonely. And he can not bark... It's very difficult for him.

thanks man. i've probably gotten too dull from seeing this while working - too much and screw up the combined style. thanks for pointing it out. something to keep in mind. ^^

good job! Love all the neat rendering of the water!
Square format, that's daring, but you pulled it of nicely. I guess the format was part of the commission...?

Whoa. Incredibly haunting and atmospheric. The colour palette is gorgeous, you really feel the humidity and even sounds of the place. Amazing details, must've taken you such a long time! And the water reflections are so clear, all in all a great painting :)

Holy... You really got it! Very swampy, but not too dark :] I often see those dark, dead-like swamps, this is very alive, well done *bows down* :+fav:
