Richard III falls in battle signaling farewell to the Plantagenet Dynasty in Britain. I think this one is done, barring any feedback to the contrary from the client. I enjoyed the challenge of creating a battle scene and overall am pretty pleased with the result. Despite the vibrant primary colors in the heraldry, I think that the neutrals carry the show which is what I wanted. What do you Think?
Hello Greg
ReplyDeleteIt's a great picture! I would I be happy with it to. I love the movement and the weight of the armors, and the colors work very well indeed.
Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI kind of love that the horse is laughing at him as he falls. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI tried not to make him too stylized, but there is a touch of humor in the expression!
ReplyDeleteoverall a great piece. they look a little clean for warriors, but i did hear the word "stylized." i'd be happy with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rudyard. I suppose I should have "dirtied" them up a bit, but sometimes I'm just happy to meet the deadline with something that I think works. If this were for a picture book or an ad, I probably would have spent more time. Such is illustration...
