Updated Painting Of Pale Lord. New & Improved!

First Post
Thank you to everyone who helped out with this. I'm submitting this as my final version, unless there are any gripes that carry serious merit. Almost every critique in [/URL] the other thread revolved around changing the spirit/ghost of the child. I addressed that, and every other comment that was made... including some of my own thoughts. I can't please everyone, so I opted to change what I felt best (including touching-up the ghost faces in the mist, better defining the blade hand, slightly altering the blade itself, and other small ammendments). Here is a side-to-side comparison of the first and second version of this painting (new version is 2nd img). I hope you agree it's much better.

Thanks for checking it out! I'll be sure to post any future jobs from EN World (and possibly others, including work I do for WOTC) for everyone's opinions... it makes the paintings so much better when I have outside input!

Nice work Mike! Man it's things like you artists on the boards that really cheese me off! The nerve of you all being talented! ;) :D
I do agree that the child in the second one has much more "emotion" in it and really adds to the effect.

Hi,

Great looking work. The 2nd one is far better I like the emotion in the ghost boys stance and facial expression.

However the fact that he has hair does strike me as somewhat odd.
 

I actually like the first ghost better, except for the odd hand position issue. I liked the fact that the ghost was more of a pure spirit than a spiritual representation of the material form. Furthermore, the cold, distant, aspect of the ghost was a very interesting counterpoint to the sheltering poses and introduced some interesting dynamics. Ah well, I'm in the minority on this so pay me no heed. :)
 


Merkle! WTH? I didn't know you posted here... Quit drawing and come on over for some friends and yummy food.

Much love,
Mister Tew

P.S. Great job on the pic.
