| I think people would be more likely to give you tips if you at LEAST posted a sketch, or asked a more specific question. As it stands, I have on idea what sort of advice you're looking for, how good you are, or what you need to work on. |

| One thing I CAN think of right off the top of my head--make sure you put your own spin on it. I have seen many viking/battlefield pictures that are drawn, as though by default, after the styles of Messrs. Frazetta and Vallejo. Don't do it! They do it well enough themselves. |

My tip is: Stop talking about it and paint it. 90% of learning is in the doing, not the talking.
