    Hey revenebo!
    I keep checking your thread once in a while but usually I prefer not to write if I don't have something constructive to say. This time though I have one or two suggestions.
    I also lately I tend to sketch traditionally more as it's hard to force myself to look at computer screen again after coming back from work. It's also the reason I don't look for additional freelance jobs lately.

    You got some really nice work on the last page. The grayscale landscape reminds me a lot of the Caspar David Friedrich paintings (Especially the tree branches and ruins). There's good feeling of scale though the foreground and middleground has some elements like trees which look very similar in size which doesn't enhance the depth as it could. Also maybe removing some detail from far background and leaving it almost as silhouette would help.

    The blue dance club scene is a a bit like that club we've been to in Bucharest . I like the idea of mixing mundane with unusual. There's lots of place for imagination and unexplored territories in this type of art.

    The costume design is cool. The there's lots of really nicde detail and overlapping parts of the armour work well for conveying depth. You should check out "Salute of the Jugger" (aka. Blood of Heroes) movie from 1989 if you haven't seen it before. It's a lot like this image - warriors on the postapocalyptic wasteland.

    Cheers.

    Vulgar`, AimBiZ, ceddo, Farvus thank you folks!!!

    Farvus thank you man!! About the landscape, I actually used paintings by Friedrich as reference!! It has some scale and details distribution issues as you pointed out but for some reason I got tired of it and I don't think I'll put more work in it soon.
    About the dance club, I liked the idea of making something weird and out of context appear normal... That dance club in Bucharest was cool man!!
    I know "Salute of the Juggers" and I love it!!!!

    I realized my portfolio lacks the usual illustration of the usual barbarian/warrior against the usual giant serpent so I made one. I'm not satisfied anyway, I rendered the first sketch that came to my mind so it's not much dynamic.

    Great articulation of the forms on those last pieces! I really dig the color scheme on the last one especially. Keep 'em coming.

    Yeah, much more dynamism in the new version. I liked the previous serpend design better though, mostly cause of the more angular shapes and suggested scales. The new one is too round and smooth in my opinion but it's executed better technically. Perhaps do a combination of the two designs?

    Very interesting to see how you improve the image by a multitude by redoing and reiterate but with the same idea. A prefect example to show why it's sometimes good to do several drafts of something.

    A bit of crit on the new one. I'm not sure how that snake is positioned. It looks like the tail is going around the pillar to the left but isn't that where the wall starts? I assume it's the end of the tail that's entering the image, steering towards the warrior. Perhaps it would read better if the pointy end of the snakes tail was visible.

    AimBiZ Thank you!!! Yes, the position of tail of the snake is not very clear, let's imagine it makes several turns and coils around the pillar on the left somehow...

    Excellent work... Revenebook! If I had to crit, it would be the flatness of the sculpture relief on the angled wall. It comes off as a flat texture applied to a plane. Besides that, a minor issue, the image is fantastic.

    tsujni thank you for stopping by, man!!! Yes, the relief looks like a flat texture applied (it is actually...) I didn't want to overwork the whole image and I thought a little bit of approximation (read: laziness...) could be interesting, but maybe it's just distracting...
