The suggester said: "A truly amazing digital painting of trolls and an Axer. Everything in here is just perfect, the colour palette is amazing and the colouring style just epic!" Axer vs Scythian by *FStitz ( Suggested by !prosaix and Featured by `Norke )

Critique by *Squirrelsquid Sep 6, 2010, 12:24:39 AM
First let me say that I REALY dig the composition! everything oozes with style - from the dynamic jumo of the Scythian, to the jumping pose of the Axer~

The Privateer Press designs are renderen beautifuly and everything on them is crisp and tidy.

now, there are a few things that I don't quite like:
The background, while beautiful, could need a bit more variation. Maybe a bit more beige/green sky?

Also, the Axer seems to be glued to the ground/slope - I'm not sure how to fix that but it seems a bit strange atm.

STILL - this is an awesome piece, and I'm sure it looks GREAT in the rulebook!
What do you think?

The concept is not mine anyway. :)
And I think both the dragonspawn here and the tyranids were inspired by the alien by Giger. :)

Trolls are my favourites of that game series, after the Steampuck mechas.
