Description

Close-up:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once a very handsome man, his whole life changed when his wife and kids were murdered. Since that time, he’s been holding a grudge against the people who killed his family, and learnt not to trust anybody. People call him “The Killer” as he undertook the painful task of avenging his family by spilling a lot of blood…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks on and off. Mainly during the weekends.

Special Thanks to Angi

ChickenWings she was very useful in the WIP, very supportive and cheerful. She gave me most of the refs I used. The only refs I used except of hers were for the body which it was I in the mirror. Thanks Angi! 

Great work. The one concern with this otherwise strong piece is that he doesn't appear apart of this this moody scene. The atmosphere with waves crashing and dark clouds looming over head should play a more prominent role in terms of how he is lit, perhaps some blues upon his face and clothing to help bring the whole scene together. Nicely done with characters' form, features, and cloak.

Looks Wicked! I'm glad you mirrored it. It gives it something extra. Maybe because we've been staring at it so much, ha ha!

It really wasn't necessary to mention me, but thank you ;P

WHEN ARE YOU STARTING YOU NEXT PIECE OMG!? Haha

Top score for your diligence, talent, and development. ^_^

Excellent image, very moody and atmospheric. The colors are excellent, and the way you handled textures is nothing short of incredible.

Hey Jordan! I am so impressed with the progress with this piece; your best work so far. It looks much better now that he is on a cliff rather than a lone rock. There is a strange white outline around the hood that makes it seem separated from the background. The cloaks was a very nice touch and really helped out with your anatomy issues. I love the designs on the blade and the tattoos now seem much more integrated with your warrior. A few things: There are no shadows on the warrior from the blade. Also the red ribbons flying the wind and his loin cloth seems a bit flat. But other than that, I believe you have an awesome work here!

Great work! The textures look nice and I love the sword!

JordanRoots

04/04/07 @996

Thank you all again!

SwtAura: I was careful to add a shadow on the body. look again it's there

I agree about the ribbon being flat, I'll edit it along with some other things. Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it a lot!

Merci Florence!

This time your painting skill is truly flawless Jordan

.
One thing that really pisses me off is the very thin highlighted outline on the left of the warrior and even the rock. Did you make it on purpose ? It tells me that the warrior was worked on a separate layer - which shouldn't be seen when the artwork is completed for everybody to see.
+9/9 anyway

Whoa, you've improved a lot. Cool pic. My crit's on the thumb which look kinda off. Basically some parts of the image isn't blend to each other rather well yet (still look like it was done on separate layer), but the texture is amazing.

JordanRoots

04/04/07 @873

well the white outline was on purpose, it was supposed to be a light effect, but it doesn't work.. I'll remove it. Thanks mysticcat!

Yay! Ship in the back!

Perran

04/05/07 @820

This peice is awesome, your skill makes me quite jealous.
The ship in the background sticks out to me, the sails don't seem quite right.
I think perhaps the boat needs to be tilted more for how tilted the sails are.

04/05/07 @844

i agree with perran but i still like the addition of the ship very much

it's been fun watching this piece develop in the wip...and the final piece is just great!

ViolentContact

04/05/07 @949

wow Jordan love it!
Great shading and expression, the weapon is just killer and the blood in it too

Nice effects to the water and background, good work with the texture on his cloth... amazing work

Probably your best, I'm very impressed with this! +10

AW JORDAN I LOVE YOU FOR LOVING POP!

Say it it's the prince from Prince of Persia 2 Warrior Within! Yes, handsome!

You forgot to mention that you got his swords from the original concept arts. As GFX Staff member you should know that

*love*, Azu

JordanRoots

04/07/07 @979

Thanks Azurelle, but his sword is from me, not from PoP.
this is not a fan art.

alebrije

04/07/07 @315

The ship it's new... Nice... I’m not sure… but I think you edit the background too. Anyway now looks better.

Cool! Keep it up!

JordanRoots

04/07/07 @707

yep, I edited the background! thanks!

Azurelle

04/07/07 @850

Well he looks a bit too mutch like the prince to be not related to the fantastic PoP conceptarts in any way

I thought it was POP fanart too. Good painting but the bg needs the same kind of attention than the rest of the painting. The boat looks very high and the sails seem a bit off. (I'm sorry that my english sucks) I think the painting would look way more focused without the whole ship.There seems to be an odd swirl in the sky that looks quite unnatural too. I have nothing bad to say about the character I think it looks excellent, even if it isn't the prince.

tomato04

04/08/07 @564

i like the ship you added but i agree with angrymikko, the sails are a bit too big and go to high up. maybe the sword should be effected with some skincolor or something..i dunno

but i should stop talking since i suck at digital painting

you did a great job i love it!

Hey!

Compliments: Atmosphere, the background, tattoo's. Emotions on the man's face

structure on the blade and his clothing.
Crits: He seems to be cut into the senery. Lighting on this clothing (on the left) would help a bit, if u ask me. His right knee could use a little more work, more shading to the sides, and under the knee. . Last is his right hand, where the fingers grow to the hand, there are a bit to big holes. If u make litte to no holes, more flesh, it would look more real .

I hope these crits help u. I think u have put a really great atmosphere in this. Keep un doing your best

8/9

That's wicked painting.

The foreground water does a good job adding depth to the scene and the rocks could use a sharper texture imo.

Juste....parfait ! Y'a rien à redire la dessus...l'arme avec le sang....le regard, l'ambiance, l'eau...tout y est !
