I ws playing around with the 'flawless victory' picture and came up with this version. Some people have told me that, professionally speaking, it's worse than the original in pencils, as it's more messy. Still, I think it's better to the eyes.

Great picture! I don't even know what to say it is so beautiful and shows a lot of talent.

Wow...Brilliant, I think its even better then the original one in pencils. The shading was done really well and to me it gives it a perspective of realism, keep up the inspiring work!

13 Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  I do agree that it is better to the eyes than the original... but I have to admit, it's too blurred..."

The first one is one of my favorits the detail if you could have put that detail here it would have been great

Excellent effects in the sky! 1 The moon, the fogs and the stars make a great picture to be capture by the eyes! 10

2 Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  I guess so... but I have to admit, it's still a lil' blurry..."

i remember when you posted this in the WIP forum at Epilogue and i still like this version better. It's just so much more dramatic. That's not to say it doesn't have it's issues (most of which got mentioned in the same thread) but as far as overall impact, this beats the other one hands down in my opinion. Plus the fact that it reminds me of one of my own pictures in terms of style makes it more appealing to me as well.

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "And I agree. I know this is not "epilogue quality"... but there is more to art than epilogue. I mentioned before that epilogue does miss a few things as far as art merits goes - acceptable due to the site objectives, anyway - and only that can explain why this picture, that feels so better to the eyes, got a "worst" rate by the MODs there..."
