"Shaman" by Ville Mönkkönen

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 20 out of 27 by Ville Mönkkönen. ←Previous - Next→


	It's a shaman invoking a terrible blizzard. I worked for days to get the guy look right, then I had to work for some more days to make the background look like it belonged to the picture. I like the snow effect very much, but what do you think about the picture?

13 Jun 2003	Eleriina	Loading... If you want an accurate "falling snow" effect you need to have snow falling in front of the figure. Otherwise it just looks like a blotchy background. Good colours though.
13 Jun 2003	H Marsden	Loading... Looks pretty cool! (no pun intended) maybe would have been better having more snow in front of the shaman though, he looks a bit detatched from it.. to me anyway..
18 Jun 2003	Jouko K. Kuutti	Loading... That scimitar looks a bit too round and people have already told you about the snow... But still it manages to have northern feel about it, which is always a good thing.
19 Aug 2003	Anonymous	Loading... He has a really cheesy smile on his face and the background doesn't fit...But its good work
23 Jan 2004	Sarah	Loading... It's a really nice thing you made! I like the background like you do! It really fits the Shaman, but still a little bit of snow in front of him wouldn't have hurt you / it. But I understand if you didn't wanna ruin days of work by putting some snow in front of'm...
