.:EDIT:. Fixed some things i missed


Here is my two point perspective homework assignment. I got anA on it, good deal. Its an evironmental concept piece for the story involving Arvalis. Yes, those islands are floating, yes they are suspended over a great chasm in the middle of the ocean, thus the surrounding waterfalls. This thing also took forever, time for the next one.

The time and detail you put into this peice is amazing. There is a lot going on. But although you have used different varients of pen size/strokes, this image lookse very flat, as all the lines are the same width. No added shadows, or thicker strokes. I also find that the floor Arvalis is standing on seems to be dipping downwards toward the left, instead of looking straight across or being even.

I do though enjoy the different types of vegitation, and although your art is more in the fantasy realm, this peice is something a little different than what you normally would do.

It was worth your A. Nice job Mr

Temple on high in a city of the sea. Lost to all of time and left to rot by all. =arvalis has truly given this monument to us on an epic scale, in an appropriate term of use. Nothing within this picture is left alone. Everything has detail, everything has purpose, and everything has age.

The vision alone is outstanding. A masterpiece in detail, and awe inspiring from not only angles, but simply the objects that were chosen to be used. The temple alone, is bent and shaped as if over centuries of age and neglect have been pushed upon it. Nature has grasped the objects once of holy symbols, and have taken them back. Moss has crowded the untouched stone slabs, and vines protruding from the open windows, doors, and even tiles of dismantled rooms. With such detail spent upon every building, tree, and even slab of rock, it is impossible to not look upon this picture and not imagine the amount of time spent on it.

Technique is nothing to shy from. =arvalis has truly gone above and beyond to improve not only the line art he has used in prior lined art drawings such as Eternal Law, but as well as the detail done to objects as a whole. While some prior works had large scale objects untouched beyond the simple outline, there is no such case of neglect here. Every stone wall, roofing tile, and even tree limb as detail engraved far within their surface. Even the lone warrior is well defined upon the rich backdrop of the floating island.

From all of this, impact is an overachieving perfection. Any casual browser on DA would be near forced to closer inspect a work of this magnitude and detail. Any to all citizens of DA would be nothing less than impressed to see a work crafted such as this.

Unfortunately, Originality cannot strive as high as the other thee categories. Floating objects have been hallmarks in many other forms of art already. From floating buildings, to castles, and even other islands, they have near all already been used before. Yet, =arvalis has been able to add his own touch of originality in this work by not only changing the location, but the height. To elaborate, while most other objects float above the ground, this floats within a oceanic chasm. Not only that, but aside from simply one massive object for others to stare and awe at, this work has several massive temples, all connected with bridges and paths that themselves are not immune the nature's demanding hand.

Through it all, and in the end, =arvalis has done little else but impress us beyond the wildest imaginations once more. For the imagination to create anything of further detail or in a more immersive environment is not only hard to imagine, its damn near impossible.

Congratulations to =arvalis once more, and may this lone warrior find what ever lies within...

Oh yeah. Good sir, this is getting colored. I'm not quite sure how, but I will find a way to do it justice. If I think it looks too bad... Well, I shall save it in scraps to look at down the road for improvement.

I've decided after looking through your artwork and a couple others (mostly yours lol, your gallery is huge~), I definitely need to start drawing again. Anywho. It's what, 5 am now? I am rattling on... D:

This will definitely help me with lighting/landscaping/shading/color schemes/happiness~

Thank you for sharing this!!!

I actually have a slightly updated version that i meddled with a couple years back. If you note me about it later i can try to save it off as a psd of just the lines so it will be easier for you to color.
