"The Dance" by John Greaves

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 18 out of 20 by John Greaves. ←Previous - Next→


	I initially did this piece as a black and white and to colour using Paintshop Pro, however, as I am still new to paintshop I decided to colour a print with markers and re-scan. I think it looks OK. Character comes from an idea that an elf is so fluid and precise as a warrior that it's weapons could be an extension of itself and when in combat would look to be in a dance.

11 Oct 2003	Dennis Drury	Loading... Nice motion in the exaggerated comic-book style. The entire picture really is "alive." The only fault I can see is that the blade in his right hand seems to be directed differently than the hand. The hand, due to foreshortening of the arm, seems directed toward the viewer, while the blade seems to point almost straight down. Other than that, this is a good pic. I can't draw action nearly so well! John Greaves replies: "Thanx for the constructive crit. I see what you mean, blade needs to be shorter and wider at the end. Thanks for takin the time."
