Artist's Comments

"...if you find yourself, walking alone in a green field ..
.... with the sun shinning upon your shoulders ..
... do not worry .. cause you will be in Elisio ..
.... and ALREADY DEAD.. "


This line explain just what i tried to show in this painting ... its a Greek hoplite (some references i took from the Spartans) ..who is kinda .. dead =D .... this is why the colors, clouds, and field itself are somehow .. unnatural ..

well .. i .. finally ... finished .. it ... after like an year that i've posted the first sketch .. i can say that i learned a lot in this time .. except for the clouds, those are my first ones hehehehehhe .. =)


hope you like it .. done in painter 9 the major painting .. and in PS 8 the fog effects and the clouds .. the original size is 4000x5800 ..

Stunning. The mountains and clouds contrast well with each other.

the one little thing I would pick on is the darkness around his chest doesn't seem to tally with the light that's apparent in the rest of the image. Really like the way the grass he's standing in is done.

interesting concept - well-executed as well.

Utterly awesome.
My personal title for this would be, "Welcome to Elysium".
The darkness on the helm gives him the 'faceless soldier' sort of quality, which is something I enjoy.

Let the world sift around you,
Ignore the confusion,
Find unity in yourself,
And smile.

Note: If I had money, I'd totally buy a print of this.
