Absolutely amazing points:

- I love the shear scale of this beast, it seems to be holding together pretty well, the details are nice and the James Gurney influence shows in this piece, I would suggest reading that book over a couple more times because like you said it could just be the missing piece in your puzzle

- Its got that Warhammer style make shift parts to it which I love, making all these parts work in a scene is no lean task. You've portrayed the different elements pretty well

- Every pixel in this piece is oozing with details and tells a separate story

- Unlike most of the clean concepts we see everyday, it is nice to see something that is thoroughly used, marked and scratched. It really adds an added level of realism to your piece





A few suggestions I have for you:





- Make time for perspective studies, I would highly recommend you buy this tutorial from Ctrl Paint ctrlpaint.myshopify.com/collec… its only $10 (When you have that money). It'll give you a step by step instruction on how to solidify your efforts and put 'em to great use. I can seriously say its changed the way I look at my work.

- Pick your focal point early in the painting and work out from that adding more details near the focal point and taking details away as you get away from it. This will not only help guide the reader into the detailed part but also save you some time and energy.





I can honestly say that I tried to be very picky but can't come up with more suggestions for you. You've really done a great job on this! Remember that even if you win, you should continue to push yourself. Its not about winning a round or two, its about continuously pushing yourself to be the best artist you can be.





Hey Josh, first of all let me commend you for spend the amount of time that you did on this piece. As I always say in my blog, there is a clear link between the winning piece and the amount of time spent on it. 20 hours is a long time and judging by the poll it really pays. You have great ideas and you seem to be pouring a lot of creativity into your latest pieces. Its nice to see you back in the grind.
