Silence of Ice

Share

I decided to do a loose 'action' sequence painting to the tune of "And i Will Kiss" by Underworld, a song that was performed during the Olympics opening ceremony.

I always like drawing the Silent Swordsman but I never draw him fighting anything, so Brionac of the ice Barrier was a good match up. ( I don't care about the technicality of the actually card game, so please don't tell me "Oh, but if you play THIS card-" I DUN CARE. :3 Thank you

I didn't intend on rendering this as it was to be a gestural painting but the 'almost' perfectionist in me said to clean it up a bit.

Good pose and anatomy. It gives him a feeling of power and strength due to how grounded he looks, though having him leaning forward a bit more would give the impression of him putting more force into the stab.

I like the icy blue tones that you used, though I think adding a few more touches of the gold, green, and red accents you used, especially in the bottom left hand corner, would help strengthen the color scheme. I wouldn't overdo it because I think the drawing benefits from being mostly blues, but a few bits of the other colors mixed into the shadows would help make it more balanced. The steam/wind effects you added are a nice touch, also. They move across the drawing well, adding to an already strong composition.

My only other suggestion would be to sharpen up your edges. Right now it looks blurry, which I think takes away from it.

Thank you so much for the honest review, all those points are very good pieces of advice! I normally don't go back and edit work once I finish it, but this piece still bothers me for those same reasons you brought out so I think I will refine it a bit more and work out the kinks.

Thanks so much! :D
