When at last I pick my favourite from you, you come and do something like this. I have to say, again, this is my favourite from you. The stone impression is great and the character doesn't need more praise. It's awsome!

Wow! One of your best! Looks very 3D, so my compliments on your shading and attention to detail. Is he floating, or is he touching the ground? (In the latter case, I think his legs are too long.) Really nice job on the background as well!

Trevor:

Thanks for your comment.
Actually, the sketch started out with the reaper standing on a skull base statue.
My client however wanted to have the base flowing seamlessly into the robe.
And I have to agree the effect is much cooler than the initial sketch.
I can see however that it might appear of the character having very
long legs:p
Well, just imagine its floating:)

Thanks

Vincent

Nice winged ripper. I'm not sure if the perspective in the blade is ok at all, but the overall quality makes you forget about it . Good job!

Nice work, perfect composition and colors!
Just one crit: The bottom edge of an axe touches the right wing.
Also the anatomy of skulls on a dress confuses, they are a little comical

Top work as usual, It may be your choice, or a request of the client, but i would take the saturation of the blue down very slightly for a more 'stoney' look. Could just be my monitor. =) +9

Thanks for your nice and constructive comments all:)

Kitster:

It is indeed on request by my client to make the colour palette blueish.
You may be right by desaturating a bit

Mirzoyan:

I fixed the touching axe, thanks

 06/15/06 @685

I agree with your client for using the blue tone :)
Vincent, this is truly an interesting design for "death"...just a minor observation (somebody already mentioned about the scythe perspective...dang! why do I need to say that) ..the tombstones needs a bit more of texture...at the moment they all look brand new :p...
Well done on the design/details...the mood is totally creepy >_<

Only thing I'm not keen on is the thickness of the sythes handle...but that's personal taste....not really a crit.

As everyone is saying; one of your best to date!

Remains me THE DEATH from Terry Pratchet's books ^^ i really like the texture youv'e maked in the picture.

Even if i don't like the death image (just a subjetive point of view) , the technique still is amazing, so i gave it a 9/9 :3

Your best so far IMO! Excellent work, very well done :) One tiny crit : the dress looks a little bit "empty" compared to the other parts of the picture. Anyways, it's very impressive!

Another amazing image from you !
Tiny ideas, would like to see some damage to the wings.. after all he is not a clean shaven person :)
I am as stated not an artist, so take this with a pinch of salt, the skulls and bones in the bottom of the robe are a little strange to me, maybe to many or not sitting right to my eye..
The main guy is excellent the background is perfect and the weapon he he carrying is great. except the right hand side point of the weapon could be sharper, more pointed... Well done and hey you would think I knew what I was talking about. ;) so feel free to ignore it !!
Keep up the good work...........

It is precisely made picture, but.... I don't know. There is some spontaneity missing for me. It is maybe too precise, too monochromatic, too static.
But hard work... ;)

Nice concept and I love the rock texture.
I don't know, may be it's me but something's funy about this picture..Probably it is those tiny bones on death's clothe))

Wonderfully creepy image Vince, find the stone texture of the reaper very fitting adding a grim *chuckle* feel to your work. Would like to have seen a slightly more grainy and weathered look to the tombstones, however as they are the work is pleasantly clean and sharp.

I see a lot of work there. Stunning piece not least because of the textures and tiny details.

I wonder what the good old tolerant townsfolk would think, if I had a tombstone like that made for me. ;-)
