Description

The inspiration for this piece was that I've always wanted to paint a classic group portrait of fantasy characters--sort of going back to childhood roots of fantasy novels and D&D. The tutorial for this piece will be published in the D'Artiste book that I'm co-writing with three other digital artists. You can find out more about the book here: http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/call_for_entries/dartiste/

I adore the man in the center, his pose is so natural and relaxed! All the character designs suit the genre really well, and they make up the perfect fantasy "team" ^_^

Lunatique, it's so nice to have you back at gfx!
Hope to see more of your art soon.

Nice work on the colors / composition her, nothing I could remark as a flaw, even the detailwork on the cloths and weapons is nice.

The links only work from your website but not from here... strange. But wow, the full version is a must-see! And thank you for the generous serving of close ups too.

Only one thing i see: the girl with the spear. Her hips are HUGE compared to her mid-rift! She looks unproportional, I know that most women have hourglass figures, but not like that. Otherwise, good job

I don't say that you drawed a diablo 2 fanart, but the girl to the right with the red head, her outfit is almost exactly like the one of the sorceress and the other women in the back stole hers from the assassin. Your work is awesome tough, great artist are inspired by others, genius artist copy other, that what they used to say.

in fantasy art, thing that bothers me most is the fact that people wearing stuff like that wouldn't live a second in real battle or even common fight with swords. They just wouldn't.

About artwork: Image looks somehow plastic, nothing is really sharp, not even blade of that weapon we see. Plants looks good though.

Great composition, lighting is absurd, that is some hard shadowing to do, and the girl in the back's pose is really sexy, well done +6

I just don't find anything wrong with those hips, u can totally find someone who looks like that. And, anatomy in fantasy.. eh?
I think i't s gorgeous piece of rpg art, and I worship it. I't sgot the feeling to it and everything.. the one thing I don't really approve of, is the posing, I think they look like models in a shoot. But that's so nitpicking.. Great great job.
