Thank you for the compliments.
And yeah it is for DnD
. Well, the DM had the idea roughed ( he knew he was going to be about 7 1/2 tall, have a ******* sword for creatures one size category larger than he was, and he was going to be barbarian esque ). I did a concept for his stone mask/hood as he mentioned he wanted a mask/veil of some sort, I got lucky and the first concept he loved.
As for the actual piece from concept thumbnails/poses to this I actually got lucky once again. I did 3 or four thumbnails and actually ended up using the first one because I thought he had the most powerful pose. I decided not to make the pose TOO dynamic or use forshortening because I didn't want to hide/clutter any of his costume ( since it was concept art afterall haha ). Um, I work stupidly slow on the actual piece which I am working on fixing. I took maybe a week dragging my *** between working full time, and hitting the gym 4 times a week. I also john that I have a new girlfriend which eats up my time ( no complaints! ).
Over all though I'd say maybe 5 hours straight on just the big guy, and only an hour or two on both the old man and background castle. so 7 and a half hours all together. Need to quicken the pace, haha.
Once again, thank you sooo much for your kind words
