SciFi & Fantasy Art / Gallery 127 of 902 / Alistair Hamilton / Picture 17 of 25 / Orc Assault

"Orc Assault" by Alistair Hamilton

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 17 out of 25 by Alistair Hamilton

SciFi and Fantasy Art Orc Assault by Alistair Hamilton


	The finished article, the way I intended all those years ago. I recently purchased a graphics tablet which gave me the opportunity to complete this work which I abandoned in 1989. I'll leave the unfinished version in the gallery for a while so that you can compare the two. (1989 - Acrylics and felt tip pen. 2001 - completed with Wacom graphics tablet and Paint Shop Pro 7)

26 May 2001	Anneke Broenink <	Loading... Yeah, much better without the explosion. Wow, that must have been quite a job to get it out! I like this picture very much, there is so much movement in it, you drew that very good. Again your beautiful colours and so much detail, lovely.
28 May 2001	Roger Alexander Hunter Jr.	Loading... I don't know why in the world there are not more comments here, but I see so much love put into this pic. I don't want to even think about how long it could take putting details on all those orcs. I have a small suggestion though...I'm not sure if this will help or not, but the human eye can only focus on one distance at a time..sometimes it is best to set one distance as fully focused and then have background or foreground objects slightly out of focus(blur in photoshop)..I don't know if that's too wise here though because so much detail was put on the fort..,but i'd definately try it on the mountain range
24 Aug 2002	Dark	Loading... This is a cool pic, but 2 be perfectly honest, I liked it just as much with the explosion. Having said that, well done for having the vision, and the effort to take the time (all these years later) to perfect it. Art is just as much for your own enjoyment as anyone else's. Well done! Alistair Hamilton replies: "Thank you. It's funny how the unfinished version seems to be getting a greater response than this one. I prefer this one and it brought me immense satisfaction in finishing it. It would be nice to have the original like this in all its A2 sized glory."
24 Aug 2002	Risto S. Ruuskanen	Loading... Very nice pic indeed
5 Jan 2008	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... Hm, funny... Why did you take out that bomb thing from the unfinished version? Cool how you changed the hair of the blond guy! Yeah, in fact, let me tell you that i like this version better, too! That bomb thing indeed was not that suiting the picture somehow... It was a bit too sci-fi...
