Warlords IV has just been released so I can show some of the work I did for the project, both of these pieces were used on the box for the game and I should have some more to show once the advertisements start showing up :)

any comments or crits would be greatly appreciated!
unfortunately I don't have any progress shots, I do have a black and white lineart version kicking around somewhere but I don't think that will help a great deal. My process is very simple, I do a high contrast black and white piece and then turn it into a multiply layer in Photoshop and paint beneath it. When it's getting near to complete I may flatten the layers and work out some of the harsher lines if needed.
If I were to offer any criticisms, it's that the steam coming out of the Minotaurs nose looks like steam coming out of a pipe or valve. It's shape seems very defined. I realise it's a stylistic choice, though.
The Orc doesn't look like he has a nose. Really like the colouring but my favourite bits are probably the background of the crowds and carnage going on.
The first pic is pretty cool - trying to work out if the face is a mask or an actual face. There's no chin present. Still cool tho'.
sweet shit dude. you want crits? um... i didn't do them? good enough?
in all seriousness. they are very nice. brilliant work
