My first submission of the year. This is for *Tasastock's contest.
This piece started out as a full figured piece, but due to the deadline of the contest and me being so bad at backgrounds, I turned it into a portrait. It is supposed to be a representation of a D&D character in my current D&D campaign. I will probably submit a few more of these character pieces in the upcoming year. I couldn't come up with a real background so just did the one you see in about 45 minutes today.
This piece was done with Photoshop CS and a Wacom Graphire 4 tablet. All digitally painted, using [link] as a reference. (The reference pic is Mature Content, so be forewarned before clicking on that link.) By the lovely . Reference for the hilt of the sword comes from a pic by , who has lots of fantastic stock for D&D type characters. The pattern on the armor reference is from a pic by . My many thanks to these stock artists who provide their talents for our use. They enable me to do what I do.
As always advice, critique, suggestions, etc. are welcomed. Things I need to work on especially include lighting and using contrasting colors to add life to my paintings. Anyway, thanks for taking a look.
Looking good. I like how the armour turned out. I think the colours and the background work just fine. I think I would crop it slightly tighter though. The space at the top is possibly too big.

Thanks. You are right about the cropping. As soon as I uploaded it and viewed it I realized I'd forgotten to crop it before uploading it. I've gone in and cropped it some now. Thanks for pointing that out.

All of the texture on that armour is amazing. I especially like the subtle definition on the breastplate.

I have several stock artists that I've been meaning to get around to drawing as well. Sometimes contests motivate me to get a pic finished.
