Thats an awesome looking set of armor

Thanks! I like it too. Unfortunately I overdid it when toying with the perspective so in the end it was a real hell to draw

Very nice, what an awesome picture!

Thank you! There are still many things that can be fixed and improved, but it served me mainly as a testing ground for certain effects, so there was no point in working on it for another few hours.

Despite that I still consider it - as for my skills and abilities - decent.

^.^

The armor effect yielded the best results. Good luck with fur. I barely can grasp any feasible way to go about it.

I think I already grasped how short fur should be made - I think it worked pretty well on the pauldrons. Long fur tho is still shite... In my opinion the best (easiest? fastest?) way of making a nice short fur is making a custom brush for it. I saw that it can be done with only round brush too but it's far away from my grasp.

I agree about the armor. Tho it's was not really a problem for me to draw/shade/colour it. Drawing is just a hobby, normally (at work) I'm dealing mainly with post-processing, so I can get that effect just by playing with lasso, contrast, curves and levels.

And sorry for the late response. Season started, so I'm again working on the weekend events.

This is just so epic Ayattar! The armor looks amazing! Definitely worth the effort yout put into it.

I wish I could think in similar way. I'm a classical example of artist's paranoia :)

That lighting gives me a raging hard on. Seriously. Nice work. Especially on the metal bits versus the rest.
