Artist's Comments

My entry for the Steampunk challenge over at Cgtalk that didn't make the deadline. Was busy with something else at the time. Wasn't feeling all too comfortable with my art that time either.

Perseus drops onto the sacrificial platform to save the chained Andromeda from the wrath of the Kraken. Instead of arriving on Pegasus, I made him wear this steam-powered heli-pack. That canister-like red thing that he's holding up is suppose to resemble Medusa's head. Hell I dunno, I just tried to make everything look steampunk.

CnC welcome.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-07-28

perseus faces the kraken by *ahbeejieh is an epic work! The compostion, the movement, the painting skills of the artist and of course the ammount of details contribute to it. That is a work that can leave you speechless and staring. It's wonderful that while painting such a dynamic scene the artist haven't forgotten about the details. It may take you some time to notice all the little things (Suggested by *Cocodrillo and Featured by ^archanN)

Critiques


:icondreamingxashley:
I love steampunk! Its one of my favourite genres. This take on the ancient Greek myth is pretty cool too. The only thing I dont like about the picture is that there is too much going on. Its too busy. Maybe if it didnt have so many tentacles...
Colours are great, and I like the use of the motion blurring, especially how the artist got the water spray to look like its going in different directions. Couldnt have been easy.

Im not sure what "impact" and "vision" represent so I gave them five as well. Better safe than sorry I guess.

I ran out of stuff to say...
The Artist thought this was FAIR

Oh...fuck

Dude, you...damn. You put a A LOT of heart into this. It's a damn shame you did not make it in time but wow this is fricking amazing :|....Like zeo said, it looks like a scene from a movie. You captured it amazingly and I just love the "tentacles" of the Kraken. Great textures, movement and perspective. The creativity...rofl...I don't think Pegasus was needed after all haha.

I am..so stunned XD...
