Feature 07 - Savage World (artistic nudity)

[big brother]

I uploaded the latest version to my PixelJoint gallery. You can see it here: http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/41083.htm. Thanks again for the help, guys!

I say if this is going to be featured, polish off and put the blade skiing eagle as the logo.

big brother, so should we lock and feature?

Although this piece is technically astounding and very beautiful to look at, there are a couple of things that bother me - sorry for speaking this late
The first thing is the rocks on the borders: what are those? Rock plates? Even if they make for a nice change, they make little sense to me as they look unnatural and weak. Moreover, the upper side of the rocks on the front borders is not matched by that on the back border neither in shape, nor in arrangement.
The other thing is that the bottom part of the small platform does not read quite right because of the colors, that somehow almost seem to put it somewhere between the background and the foreground.

Saimo, those are interesting observations. I'd ask for an edit to see exactly what you're talking about, but I don't plan to revisit this piece for a while.

I'm calling the latest version finished. You can lock the thread, Helm. Thanks again, everyone!

I gotta say style over sense and realism. They look really nice, stylistically and artistically, and I'm glad he went for something a little less realistic because it really help this piece's appeal.

I'm not good enough to provide a decent edit, but I can try to illustrate my point by scribbling something on your piece:

(now, that's defacing a piece of art )

Seeing as there is no movement here and bb already upped it to PJ a while ago, here we go...
