Wow! That's a really good painting, did you use oil paints?

Great job pulling off that Skyrim nordic feeling :)
The armor fits well and is unique. The pointing arm could've been painted smoother but looks great with the lightning and color nonetheless :)

Awesome job all in all ^^ +1

P.S: It's shown that you've invested your heart and enthusiasm into it.

Wow, really good. :) The only thing is that the cape seems a little fluffy and soft compared to the rest. But that could just as well been on purpose, as not to draw the focus away from the character itself. But a really good job nonetheless. :thumbsup:

Haha, nice. He's pointing right at the VLC Media Player. Tis a sign.

Nope, this was done 100% digital. And thank you :)


why would you use paint when there is photoshop around


There's some reasons, actually. Digital paintings can look kinda "fake", because of filters, distortion and stuff, while traditional paintings have this certain "feel" to them. A computer can not truly recreate the effects of real paint, I think. I svck at traditional painting, though. :laugh: I miss the "undo" function in real life.

Because there's a huge difference in how you use it? And also a huge difference in how it will look? That's just a really stupid question you posted..

Wow. Nice work! :thumbsup:
You've got some talent!

I'm not that great of an art critic, but here are my few criticisms:

- Composition is spot on. I love it.
- The legs might be a bit too short. Or perhaps the leg armor gives the illusion of the thighs being too short.
- Colors look great.
- The outstretched arm looks good, though you might want to revisit the inner elbow joint, and perhaps the upper arm might be too big, and the forearm too short. Hmm...dunno.
- The sword looks great, though I'd love to see some more details on the pommel.
- Lighting is wonderful.

Again, I'm not much of a critic. And I mean all of the above in the most positive and constructive way possible. :foodndrink:

This piece looks absolutely amazing! Great job! :trophy:

So much encouraging feedback! Thank you all!! :icecream:
P.S: It's shown that you've invested your heart and enthusiasm into it.


Thank you! This is the most important thing to me. I know that I'm not where I want to be as an "artist". But I'm 100% self taught and no where professional (I started just 2 years ago with photoshop). And I have to compensate my lacking talent with working on stuff like this for hours and hours, while professionals would need maybe half the time I do :D

Wow, really good. :) The only thing is that the cape seems a little fluffy and soft compared to the rest. But that could just as well been on purpose, as not to draw the focus away from the character itself. But a really good job nonetheless. :thumbsup:


Thanks! Yeah, it was kinda on purpose, I also tried to make the sword as unspectacular as possible, because it's not a mayor focal point and would distract the eye a bit. :)

If it wasn't suggested already, kaio, you should contact Bethesda about your art for the Bethesda Blog (http://bethblog.com/index.php/2011/04/15/fan-art-update-2/).

no its not a stupid question, first because i have used both, the only difference is that photoshop looks cleaner, its faster, and its easy, in painting you get toxins into your lungs, you cant use the redo button, its takes for ever, but some people like the style, and other use it as a destressor, oh and painting is super expensive.

Haha, that would be epic. Working for Bethesda on, lets say, Elder Scrolls VI would be a dream come true.

Towers or chimneys confirmed!Very nice btw!


:) Thanks

Thank you! Of course I will. I might do a Khajiit next, because the new screenshot really empowered my imagination about them.
Very nice. Love it. :)


Thank you! :)

One is impressed with another's effort

Hopefully, I'll be able to get some fan art done before the game arrives.
