"The Last Stand" by Gregory P. Gibbons

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 42 out of 47 by Gregory P. Gibbons. ←Previous - Next→

Item censored due to its Parental Rating level (#4 of 4), as set by the artist...


	A commissioned piece for an online module on tribal or primitive characters, The last stand has three braves caught in the grasp, one literally, of the dreaded Moorighann, a beast neither alive or dead, a great demon that slept in another age, to be awakened by it's hatred of blessed and holy things... like the axe that, unless wielded by the truly pious, will not save them.

17 May 2004	Jade Bailey	Loading... I'm surprised this has no comments yet. Love the composition - very well-rendered and dynamic. The lighting's great, too, particularly on the figure wielding the axe, although I think the glint on the axe is a bit overstated (unless it was supposed to be glowing, of course). Even the droplets of water are well-placed. You've really got the sense of movement down properly here, it looks like a freeze-frame. Good stuff.
12 Oct 2004	Zachariah Campbell	Loading... I dig the Moorigan and the overall action in this... the tension with this struggle on the precarious tree is a great set-up. The kind of shaded grotto lighting almost works too, but against the (photo-comp?) background, the figures in the foreground become a bit indistinct. I find I really had to stare at it for a second to really see what was going on. Maybe they need some stronger highlights to bring them out of the murk a little more?

28 Feb 2006	Andrea Lanzoni	Loading... This picture is fantastic under all its aspects but what I like most of it is the light job.
