matsign ..the super saturated bright colours in the Background are hurting your composition which is why the thumbnail it reading solider

thanks crx! I watched the J Chan painter vid and thought I could easily do the same thing with saturation. HAH!

baby steps, BOLD baby steps.

Agreed!

A very early work in progress, not much of anything is finished, so I haven't a clue if I'll be able to complete this by the deadline...time will tell. All I knew is I wanted to stray away from dragons and just wanted a strong shot of a single rider (perhaps, time permitting I'll add some small battles going on in the distance). - For the "Light Side"

Can't wait to see the finals.

**Vigilandus** · March 21st, 2008, 03:06 PM

Artwarz yeaaaaa, side is dark

WIP, I think I'm using too much different hues, anyone got some thoughts bout this?

**yoitisi** · March 21st, 2008, 03:35 PM

Little WIP so far.

Edit: Final...for now. Might play around with the background a bit more and some other things, but I though I'd get this in before this closes.

Edit the Edit: Finished I guess. Oh and yeah, it's for the dark side

**vorp** · March 21st, 2008, 05:19 PM

Vigilandus,
One thing that might help is switching to B&W and looking at your values alone and consider the focus areas in your painting. With the big wall and other things going on my eye doesn't know where to focus.
Try to have one major focal point and then secondary ones.
If you have lots of values and detail competing for focus it can confuse the viewer.
Could help.
Good luck!

crx, that serpent is very curious of that balloon.

**Corrick** · March 22nd, 2008, 05:03 AM

yoitisi, I hope you're on the light side. I really, really hope you're on the light side.

There be some hot WIPs going on in here. Let's get to it, Light side.

**tsujni** · March 22nd, 2008, 05:50 AM

wip

doesn't joust mean"join". I'd be curious as to what is joined, the horse/rider or the combatants? Could a naval battle between to similar warships be considered a joust? Nothing in the etymology seems to indicate either way. Only that at the time of usage, they used horses as conveyance. So, I replace horse with large flying warships.

**yoitisi** · March 22nd, 2008, 05:53 AM

Updated mine for a bit

Corrick: Thanks, Chaos bugged me about that too

Although, with people like you and Mike and a bunch of others I think the Dark Side is in need of some support too...

**Vigilandus** · March 22nd, 2008, 08:10 AM

Succumb to the divine DARK!

Okay didnt have time to finish/edit it properly with vorps' tips. THANKS btw =)
So I painted directly on the previous one without layers n such.

Gotta get back to studying..

Dark side ftw yo, bouhahaha

**Sellis** · March 22nd, 2008, 08:37 AM

Nutha update, not had much time at all since last working on this but hopefully i'll get to free up some time tomorrow and get it finished. Planning on giving the evil guy some overly ornate armour for his steed, just coz it'll be fun to do

So you are in the dark side? cheers

It's good to be bad...

**chaosrocks** · March 22nd, 2008, 06:32 PM

joust is a battle or competition between two combatants. in thesi case the joust is defined as a aerial battle.

**Noisetank** · March 22nd, 2008, 06:37 PM

**shou'** · March 22nd, 2008, 07:55 PM

Sorry Chaos

**Boase** · March 23rd, 2008, 09:19 AM

I had a few ideas throughout the week, but in the end I threw something together this morning out of development work. A bit random but also a bit different for me..
Final:

This seemed like a more difficult topic to tackle, some great images tho, well done all!

-- I took a few liberties with my white silhouette, kudos to Piecemaker
