Description

Well, I know it's just more people posing, but this stupid picture sat in my head for weeks and refused to go away until I painted it. So I did. Ahahaa, sorry for the cheesiness. :p

OOeee.... It's been a long time coming, but this, as ever, is a fantasic piece. It might be "just more people posing", but when you do it as well as this it's obvious you should be doing it! Your use of colours are stunning on this picture - I feel like I am looking at it through peach tinted glasses. :)

Awesome painting, Azhrarn, love the realism and colours. Wish I had a crit for you, but currently I see nothing wrong with it.

Ah, finally another piece by Azhrarn! :) I agree with antifan on the posing stuff, it's a fantastic painting! The sky is also absolutly marvelous, as are the characters emotions. And you're style just rules.

sure, 3 people posing. but they all have very distinctive characteristics. Composition, color scheme, and rendering.. they all look great, and complement each other well as a piece. Nice.

the sky is wonderful. Only the sea doesn't seem to fit in the overall softness of the picture. awesome :)

I think that their necks seem a bit too long.
 
Azhrarn

 08/24/03 @152

Gwee.. thank you all! And I agree with the crits. I've had a lot of comments regarding the long necks; they were a stylistic choice, but obviously they aren't working if so many feel they look weird. ..I will think about it more when painting in the future.

ahahaha someone is going round voting 1s on all my work I see. Somebody hates me, it seems. XD

actually. the long necks don't bother me. the height of the characters and the poses overall give the piece... what? A sense of high-drama on the highseas? :p now who's being cheesy. As always your characters are so characterful - just by looking at the piece i want to read a book about these three! The lighting is majestic. Wonderful as always.

I think you should ignore the critiques about the long necks and other physical features of the people because its YOUR style and that makes it so awsome! You can do what you want but my advice is dont change a thing...:)

there's nothing wrong with long necks, but maybe they could be a bit thinner/leaner? O_o

anyway, this is terrific. the only 'complaint' i have is the parts of the ship that seem too sketchy and unfinished in comparison to the rest.

I love flintlocks! Okay aneeway, there's just something about that little girl in the background, seems like she's really got a story behind her. The crafted looking thingies in the foreground really add to the appeal, it'd look different without the framing.

*dies* So purrrrty! Love the girl on the left, though her neck looks a bit longish. =)

Despite some of the technical things mentioned, I could take or leave them. This piece is exceptional. The characters have so much motion and fluidity to them, the color pallet and lighting is phenomenal and the compostion excellent. I have to say, this is one of the most exceptional pieces I've seen on the forum scene in awhile. I love it.
Ok..enough blabbering..Nice Job

Awesome painting it looks like you painted it from Pirates Of The Carribean well sorta. But still awesome!

Much, much thanks to everyone who commented. ^_^

HikaruShindo: *laugh* Trust me, you aren't the only one who's made that comparison. But the truth is, I hadn't even _heard_ of the movie at the time I made this picture. Not to mention it hasn't been released in the theatres here yet. Just a rather odd coincidence. ;P

Fantastic job Sapphron! wow! your color theor goes a long way being so professional and its moody it feels FANTASY. A world that being in would be just exciting. The main focus the male pirate is superb its natural and flowing, his face is a pretty boy but a warrior look since his eyes and eyebrows are impossible to achieve. For many years I wished to have eyebrows similar to that. The hands on the redhead look very lifelike and her face shows a spirit of fighting, yet cute. The job on the hair, I really enjoy too. My only problems to cause me not give you a 7 is the fact the necks are too long and the blondes face looks sorta flat, but correcting that would mean too much to do over. I gave you a good grade, a 5! hopefully that is ok. My work on the otherhand doesn't compare to yours :( --its not too good. you came a long way and your works impresses me! :)

eh, the necks look just fine to me... I myself have a really long neck, so I'm used to seeing it, I s'pose.

Lovely colors, great poses and clothes! Love it!

I love the pic and have one question... Are all your models or people characters from books or games? If so who are these people and all the people in your other pics?

wow, love the left girl... she's almost crying as if she lost someone... i didn't even realised that their necks are a bit longer than usual before reading the comments...

really GREAT picture
 
Azhrarn

Thanks guys, crits and comments alike. :)

MisticFaerie: Thankee. The characters are my own, unless otherwise stated. :]

the colour is good, but the proportions of the characters are not good, looks up for the body anatomy a little, it would help u much.
