Description
Please watch full size. Thanks!
This is the final image of this sequence:
If you havent seen these, I ask you to please do it, in order to better understand this new one.
- In the first, there was the proud shepherd of dragons.
- In the second, there was the killing of all the dragons by a "fallen angel".
- In the third, there was the revenge of the shepherd.
- In the fourth and last, there is now the emptiness in the shepherd's life. I deliberately created some visual links to the first image, with symbolisms behind.
Comparison first/last images:
- The poses are at the same time similar and opposite.
- In the first, he was in the top of a mountain, now he's in the bottom.
- In the first, the sky was full with his dragons, now the sky has clouds only (but you might notice that, this time, I made two layers of clouds).
- In the first the sun was to his left (warming his heart, if you like), now it's to his right.
- In the first there was wind, now there's no wind. I like to think of wind as the planet's breath of life.
The reddish light was seen already in the previous image and it establishes, of course, a link with the origins (and final fate) of the "fallen angel" (as foreseen in the previous image).
Thanks for your kind comments in previous images and thanks for watching.
EDIT: Thanks for your kind comments. More or less as a reply to cobaltdream's comment, I would just like to leave a note to say that not necessarily this scene takes place immediately after the previous fight. In fact, in my mind, it doesn't. Notice that the wounds are not coherent with that fight. In my mind, he has been wandering in this wilderness for some time after the fight. Here he somehow started healing his previous wounds and making new ones. The clothes are torn due to the ruggedness of this area. He doesnt care about that, his pride his gone, his joy of life is gone.

All i have to say is that besides your high technical skills (that are obvious), you master the way to tell a story while showing feelings and mood. Great class!

The series as a whole created a great desire to see the next chapter- It is one thing to render a frame, but you have rendered a series of images creating a tangible story, and it was compelling- you might be onto something my friend!

Awesome series. This is a great image that is made all that much stronger by seeing it in perspective of the others. Excellent work.

Stunning environment. Great lighting. I'm not as sure about the pose-- it seems stiffer than your other character poses. Perhaps it's because of the forward lean, and stiff shoulders. Incredible cliffs and composition!

absolutely love the light and sky! the lower right reddish light mystifies me somewhat, but i'm sure the story could encompass an explanation. great texture or material on the rock in the foreground (under his feet). personally, that he's not missing a body part or dead entirely seems highly unrealistic considering not only how blade fights go, but the position they were in previously. not only unrealistic, but sort of anti-climatic as he basically sacrificed nothing to kill a being able to slaughter a huge number of animals stronger and better armed than he. i think it's a much better story if he actually had to lose something to obtain his vengeance. but i think the mood fits the story arc. i too think the position is slightly stiff, and it's because his torso looks very straight. i find it really hard to get a realistic curve, but i think he would look more fluid with lowered shoulders, and bit more of a bend in his abdomen and chest. good rips and blood on his robe, but it would be even better with more combat driven ones. edge ones make sense for a rough time traveling, but attacks would center on the torso and head. and probably not be so ragged. basically, my main critiques center on the narrative, not the artistry. i think this is a very dramatic image, with a great use of lighting, color and composition. very effective, very striking. all the images show great storytelling, and effective illustration.
