Artist's Comments

I don't know what it was... maybe the monkey flipped the right switch in my head... maybe the planets aligned for me...

I'll never know, but this somehow worked! Everything I tried in this piece just came together and I got exactly what I wanted.

I'll look at it again in a couple of days and I won't be able to stop picking out everything that is probably wrong with it but for now, I'm very happy with it. :D

EDIT: I told you that after some time I would pick apart what was wrong with the piece... instead of being upset, I simply fixed everything I thought was wrong with the picture and this is the final version (for now).

- Removed the head tails as they weren't needed.

- Added texture to the ground to make it more interesting.

- Added a texture overlay to the entire piece to age it and make it look less 'CG'

Thanks man! I've been practicing my speedpainting so much this past week and I think it finally paid off with this piece. :)

Glad you like the Sniper Rifle too, I haven't drawn many and I didn't have any reference for that one.

It's amazing how crappy the stuff starts out. Just basic colors on a blank canvas that I constantly add detail to. I've still got a long way to go until I'm really good at it and I should probably concentrate more on technique than speed for the moment (I'm just really impatient). ;)

Very cool. I like the contrast between the monk-ish robes, futuristic headpiece, and futuristic-but-obviously old gun. I think this is great.
