"The winner takes it all..." by Janne Vuollet

*gasps* Wow.......the detail in this pic is totaly breath taking.......I think (and I'm anything but an experiand artist like u) that colouring it in would bring it to life but in my opinion black and white are just as cool (or mabey even cooler,who knows?)

Janne Vuollet replies: "Well, the only option for me would be to color this with computer. Cause I don't like to color over pencil. And I suck in computer arts so... True, that coloring could bring it more alive. More alive? Can something be less alive than alive, being still alive? Ok I'm thinking silly again... Anyways, thanks for commenting."

Most impressive back-round what I have seen I bet you must have done this for days.. The details makes this pics one of my favorite in the Elfwood=)

Janne Vuollet replies: "A few days yes... Not very long every day though. thanks for the comment."

LLLLLOVE the forest! *in awe* Incredibly well shaded, and such detail...
But... (there always seems to be a 'but', doesn't it...) unfortunately the main characters in the front seem to vanish in the abundance of details. Now don't get me wrong : I do love the background, especially the trees. But maybe a bit more contrast would have brought the characters out better. Now I seem to have to squint and really look for them...
But anyways : awesome job, my fellow citizen. *grin*

shadings good, but again its s h i t and lifeless,..very 2D.

No onpa kyllä hiano ja tiijjäkkö mixi. No sixi, että se on tommonen MUSTAVALAKEE! Heheeheheheeeeheh! Sen, ku kääntää horisontaalisesti ni mennee ihan sekasi! Ukolla on paha ilime ja paha se o vastustajaki. Puissa näkkyy olevan aika palijon detaljeita ja mikäs sen hienompaa. Se o sitä sinulle ominaista piirrustus väkerrystä. 300 työtuntia varmaan meni tähänki. Höhöö haum! Vielä ku mietit muittenkin kuvien värien käyttöä vähä tarkemmi ni kyllä sinusta vielä haltija tullee. Sitten voit juosta Ahmalan hangilla kelistä riippumatta ja sitten siitä pittää tehä giffi. Palijo näkkyy olevan mehtää sinun luomuksissasi va sen siitä saa ku assuu siellä missä assuu. joo moi!

Janne Vuollet replies: "Joo!Metsän haltia oon... Mutta hei partaäijä, sitten ku mä juoksen ahmalan hangilla niin sä saat sitte olla kääpiö hemmo ku kerta parran oot kasvattanu. Kompastut vielä siihen partaa ku nii pitkä on! Sitte siitä roikkuu hirveitä lumipalloja ku möyrit lumessa!"

Great work janne!! Keep on...

Janne Vuollet replies: "Thanks big bro. You keep on too"

Whatever you do, DON'T MAKE ONE BLACK AND THE OTHER WHITE!!! It would be the ultimate cliche! But you're not going to do anything, you say...? Hrrrrrm... I certainly think you should make a new picture. The design of that mage/wizard/thing is unique enough to make for a very interesting subject (in my opinion). And I have to say, I'm also on the magic thing's side. Ahh. I wish I had my own keep just up some stairs like that one. Mind if I try coloring it?

Janne Vuollet replies: "Hmm, maybe I'll do a new version of this someday. Right now I have lots of other ideas that I'd like to make. Wanna color it? Hmm... sure, why not If you want I could send you a better version of this, it'd be easier to color."

Background-great
Wizard-good
Knight-kinda freakishly off in some way...

The leaves on your trees are ausome and well as insperational.....

Those 2 are strang looking dudes
but they are very entertaining
one wonders who on earth are they
the one on the right reminds me of don quixote for some reason
the other one well
hi legs seem to be melting down
though he could pass for don quixote's sidekick idf
they werent fighting each other
i like the quirky characters
and the detail in the picture is amazing
down to the veins on the leaves almost
yes i love the trees
fantastic
this is what fantasy is all about
