Description

This is a color illustration for a fantasy story with characters from Greek mythology. It will be published in local sci-fi/fantasy mag. It was a faster work than my usual cover stuff.
Made from scratch in Photoshop CS3

This is great! I love the style! It's rough, sketchy, character appeals to me. I also LOVE the highlights on the axe. The image appeals to the reader, though you COULD have given a BIT more detail to those creatures. I like the details(rough) that you give for the background. This picture has also been aptly named " The Axe of Bronze" because you have given enough detail s for the axe itself. I. love. it! There is absolutely, infinitely no way that ppl can beat this, though you miss out on the impact and originality. but I love your technique.
