Dragon Warriors - Another day in the office

Description

Seems to be just another day in the office for these Dragon slaying mercenaries.

This was tonnes of fun to paint, and I'm finally ready to call it 'finished' I think.

Most effort I've ever put into a painting by far.

Hope everyone likes it!

I also thought I might enter it into a competition and see how that goes...

Commenting on behalf of #ProjectComment, though that competition.

Well, I like it. I especially like the title. You can see the work that has gone into it, too. Here are a couple of things:

The big guy on the left is blurry. I know the idea here is to put more focus on the dragon and the other warrior, but I would do that by flattening down the colours. Make the guy at the front darker but if we want to focus on him for a bit, let us do that. The blur gives a lot of immediate impact, but it matches badly with the mace warrior's partner. That patch on the left makes me want to focus on the armour in detail and I can't. That's really annoying. The way you handled the ferns on the left is good.

The town on fire, that's pretty damned cool A nudge of shadow to the top left of the smaller guy's helmet will make him stand out from the fire a lot better, though - his reflection is making the helmet blend with the background.

I really like the details on the dragon. I would not change anything there at all.

So yeah, it's a good poster, and it's a good picture. You could improve it pretty easily by making the metal helmet on the right stand out, and if you wanted to go back to the files and put in hours more you could improve the other part as well. I encourage you to look at the helmet, at least.
