Ah Alex Ross. The man knows how to paint, but I am amazed by his pencils. This is inspired by his stuff, but I can see about forty things wrong with it now. Ah well...

There's something about him which just radiates power, like he's a leader. Then again, he could just be contempleting something. Great job either way!Thank you. Well he is a holy leader, so I guess I did okay. hee.

Forty things? I can only see one wrong in this scenario, it didn't give me the power to draw as well as you...Great work with the cloak, I always mix up the shading at that point.The haughty expression and the dark smothering eyes are damn sexy if not for the angular features that tend to turn me off..don'ttell him, wouldya?Don't worry, I won't.

I tend to agree with everything Anna said. The one thing I like better in the newer pictures is the detail you gave his clothing (designs etc.). I s'ppose even Rondar wants to bum around in a simple cloak from time to time. 12 Yeah, that was back in his more humble days when he was pulling the whole Jesus thing. He sold out I guess! 2

This is one of my favorite pictures of Rondar ever, despite the few (very minor) problems and the very unapproachable glare...The simpler robes work, in my mind, 'cause I look at it like this -- that fancy stuff would be more for ceremonial purposes, whereas this is the adventuring garb...Maybe I'm crazy! Anyway, again, you sicken me with your ability to produce such amazing results in high realism (when you bother to take the time, that is!) -- this is a very fine piece.

agree with the comment that he 'radiates' power'. the soft, smudgy lighting in the background must be a good thing to have with you when radiating power... nice commanding stance 2

That's so god damn awesome! Your pretty really good and better than most other people that put up there stuff

The unapproachable glare has it's roots in Alex Ross's work, and that emulation is going to get you in BIG trouble. I am, of course, so full of shit. Bet you're wondering what's gonna happen next to our favourite little elven priest, huh? Man, I think it's time to inspire some new twists on what you know as Rondar...

...though you say this is an old concept of this character, I find myself more drawn to him than the others. he seems more genuine more fantastic in appearance and design. I also like the details revealed in the shading and robe desing that you included.

LOVE the shading, it's got such a soft, very nice "feel". Excellent!
