This is a portrait of Daryl, my Creative Director at work! I'll be showing this to him tomorrow! Hope he likes it. I think it turned out really Tolkein-y. :lol:

My clubs can post this. :)

Wow! Carrie this is amazing!! Fantastic job!
I don't know your co-worker so hard to say on the reference but his face definitely looks like someone that I could recognize if I saw them. Nice expression as well. As always, I love your little details...your costumes are always great, all those little touches that make the image really special! I think you've done great on the fabric textures, metal textures, etc.. The light on the top of the cape is especially well done and I like how you have the red glow of the sword touching and defining the folds inside it. I only have two suggestions. First, I think the cape would be a little more shadowed directly behind his legs and calves, secondly, although I love the textured background, I think he would stand out more if you put the area where the back wall meets the ground, and around behind his feet in shadow. I think it would make for a bit more drama. I love the Tolkien-esque writing around the archway as well, so I would have that still visible....I just think it would help if there was more darkness towards the ground.
Lovely work as always...I can't say enough good things about it really. I bet your co-worker loves it!!

Oh, I love this! Also, I think the magic or enchantment coming off of the blade, I think it would look beautiful in a metalic blue. But I love it anyways!

Thanks so much saxamus for the nice comments! :tighthug: I'm really glad you like it! I think I have to agree with you that blue magic would've been cooler!
