SciFi and Fantasy Art The Battle by Luis Filipe dos Reis Peres

Ok, this is absolutely true. I was going to throw this pic into the garbage after ripping it up into a million pieces. Then something inside me, told me to go on ,and at least try to finish it. Now i´m glad i did. This realy turned out much better than i was expecting, for a picture that at least up untill i got to paint the scenery part, i was totaly hating to do. As many of you know, i hate to draw characters and find that type of drawing the most boring thing in the universe to make, (altough i admire those pics very much), so i was in a living boring hell, when i started this pic. Initialy this was suposed to be the first image in my graphic novel, but i was so much bored of having to waste my time drawing so many figures and so little scenery,that i started to realy dislike the thing. And when i´m bored, i start to make stupid idiotic mistakes with everything, but specialy with the painting. The weirdest thing about this image, is that i tried so hard to destroy it, with reckless drawing and painting, and somehow by the end of it it came out like this. And now i love the thing ! And the fun and tragic part of this story, is now i completely destroyed the rest of the page and i can´t draw anymore image in it to continue my story. So if i want to make it, i´ll have to go through this type of image once again on a new blank page. This is the first time i don´t have any pleasure at all making a drawing and then at the end it turns out much better than some pics i do with pleasure. Maybe, i should give up drawing, i must becoming mad or something. Maybe there is something in the paints. :-) Oh, by the way, the blood here is green, because i like it.

6 Mar 2001	Brian Tolin	Loading... All your paintings are beautiful, including this one. I admire your landscapes and ability to paint. One thing though: the characters in the foreground should have a more definition because they are difficult to see. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, you've rendered an intense scene full of life and story!
20 Oct 2001	Lisa Ann (Jae) Andresen	Loading... Oh, it's been so long since I visited your gallery-- I'd forgotten how much I love your style. This is such a creat piece-- I love your nightscapes, don't stop doing them!
28 Oct 2001	Kurk	Loading... Hm. You should've gone with the flow on this one. yawn
28 Nov 2002	Sean	Loading... Hi, I think that picture is awsome. It's got feeling and, damn, wow I made a website about my warhammer and warhammer 40k armies and I wanted to know if I could use this image as the intro image. I would of course give you credit and Elfwood already has a link. It's not quite up yet but will be as soon as I go back to college from Thanksgiving Break. Dont feel like you have to say yes I can find another pic if need be. Please email me a response at sbegley@lacrosse.com Thanks, Sean.
5 Apr 2003	Ludovica Wing Shuen Price	Loading... grins I hate hat feeling of frustration you get when a picture never turns out the way you want it to, and you just want to give up on it. However, I can gladly say that I am happy you didn't rip this up nd throw it away! Battle scenes are always hard to do, because there are so many searate events and motions going on all over the place. I think you have captured that element very well indeed. Great job on the yellow highlights; and once more, your interesting perspective and tilting makes this a gem. Man, I wish I had half the talent you have. Your skill puts me to shame.
