I am not sure if it is finished. Lately I have been letting myself leave my works in a sketchy manner.

uh.. I like it. I think the lightning is good, and it has atmossphere, but the whole picture way too sketchy in my opinion. It makes a great sketch though.
Suggestion: Go a bit into details, get some contrast into the pic and make it slightly darker. I like the glare, but I guess it is just a litte to bright. |

I like it. Looks very nice. Great colours. Only thing that bothers me a bit is the guy in the middle's right leg....seems a bit too long or in an awkward position.
But great work. |

If this were a concept painting, you could class it as more than finished. It gets across the mood of the battle really well. This work rocks, Pierre!
How do you usually apply paints to your scene? Do you start with opacity at 100% and then use less opaque colours as you work in the details, or do you use this diehard method that some others use of keeping it on 100% and relying on swatches to get your blends? |

Heyyy that's really nice! The composition is excellent and I love the gradiation of the yellow light coming from the top right and the bottom left. Really focuses things. I like how 'dreamy' it turned out. I think it would look better if you played with depth of field a little more, bringing that middle, King-Authur-esque guy more into focus by making his form more pronounced and less affected bu the 'mist' that going on in the rest of the painting. Right now, it looks most of those those guys riding on horses are at the same depth.. I'm mostly talking about the two on either side of the main guy.
That's it though.. *thumbs up and cheezy grin* |

| hmm....I like it very much. however, there are some anatomy issues, particularly with the center jockey, which make the sketchy look somewhat wrong. for example, his leg is at a weird angle and his hand is going in a strange direction, it's twisted for no reason....if you corrected these then the sketchy look would work really well because the rest of the painting, as far as perspective and colour and lighting goes, is really great. |
