He looks good. That's some serious freehand.......well done.

 

[freakinacage]

freehand is quite weird but really cool

 

[Tommie Soule]

Yeah great freehand! I wanna see face close ups n stuff!

 

[ijee]

The freehand is inspired by the magic used on the cover of 'circle orboros' book.
cheers for the comments

Close ups.

It don't matter how good a paint job it is if thr photgraphy doesn't show it.
You've seen it in the skin, as have I and we know how awesome it is.

True enough, It just seems like the scores for many of the submissions on here dont reflect the work no matter how good or bad. But nothings perfect so I guess you have to take the rough with the smooth in this game eh..because afterall, its someones opinion.

I wish the matra for this site was

let people be people. Don't expect that they should make the most of you, or for you. That is your own task.

 

[DannyVasquez]

I try to, even if it is a little frustrating. Like I say, you gotta take the rough with the smooth and work harder the next time.

Nice Mantra Tommie.

In regards to the figure, well I have a problem looking at the front shot and seeing a very well painted character surrounded by empty black cloak. To me it looks 'unfinished' or missing something.
As for the rear and the freehand, well smooth and increadibly neat yes...But all the same colour, no shading to follow the flow and shading of the cloak, which to me doesn't look 'right'. If that was intended to represent embroidery or woven into the cloth then it needs the same Shadow flow/Highlights as the cloak.

I am digging the freehand. The base really looks nice. Almost as good as the figure. Well done!
