Description
...there is lonliness..there is pain...the rasping of breath through clenched teeth...the feeling of wounds cut deeper than skin....
the breath of the wind stirs his hair and he gasps again...feeling that breath like an angels kiss upon his dried lips...

Outstanding work. The details in the grass are awesome! Very good posing of that left arm and hand, and the textures on that armor rock! That tattered banner is pretty cool too. Excellent job!
Wonderful scene and render!Outstanding work!
wow! This is fabulous!
Good atmosphere and lighting. Great character, pose and expression. Very good job with the banner and his hair.
~Chilling finally~ Ultimate warrior bows to no one~ Impressive work~
AWESOME!!!!!
Very nice... only thing I can think of to improve it would be having the right hand grasping the banner higher up the shaft, so there's more of a sense of pressure and strain.
Very well done, good postwork and composition. I like the way he holds his left arm, you can see the arrow has weakened it, nice touch there.
Now this is totally rad, cool, awesome, however ya want to say it!!
Very stunning and powerful image. Very nice work on the banner. Excellent composition and excellent image! :)
You have captured the moment of a soul's surrender to the ultimate Destiny...words cannot encompass the emotional trauma you've illustrated here! Superb!!
Fantastic render!!! that banner looks incredible!! EXCELLENT work!!
You've depicted defeat magnificently and with such beauty too. Most impressive.
Great Composion. I love images that have feeling and look as if your heart was really into what you were working on. Great Job! :-)
Powerful. Reminds me of the Emily Dickenson poem... "Not one of all the purple Host / Who took the Flag today / Can tell the definition / So clear of Victory / As he defeated--dying-- / On whose forbidden ear / The distant strains of triumph / Burst agonized and clear!"
Strong, might work better with just the one arrow.
In a word : WONDERFUL !!!!!!! a kiss Debby :-D
excellent scene with great colours
Fantastic pose, light and image. The postwork is brilliant. Excellent work!
absolutely breathtaking Kiri! the mood is so powerful smile
So, let me get this straight? You created this beautiful man just so you could make a pincoushin out of him??? Is that the thing??? Fantastic work babes... but quit killin off the talent.
Oh, makes me want to give this gorgeous warrior a hug. Fantastic art and prose. :o) CC
the angels kiss of natures breath, will not lead our hero to his death . a sassy lass of stunning beauty will steal his body from the field, far from here he will be healed. with inner streingth he will fight agin , the outcome will not be the same my friend.... " sorry i couldn't help myself its wonderful "
Great pose and postwork. Excellent :)
