Description First thing I want to say is: Finally finished! This image has taken me forever, it feels good to finally be done with it. I drew the sketch while I was at comic con, just like how i did [link] at anime expo.

Anyway, the idea for the image is this: The title is supposed to be ambiguous. Who are the "scouts" and what are the two figures in the foreground doing? If you assume they are enemies of the men below, what's the reason for holding back against such laid back soldiers? Is it because the two are "just scouts?" Perhaps they are under orders, as scouts, not to engage the enemy? Or maybe they are simply unable to take on so many men? Perhaps they are not sure if these are the only soldiers? What if the men below are the "scouts?" Would not killing them then be pointless? Since they are "just scouts."
Thanks for reading! >U<

:gapes mouth wide open: wow! that's just amazing I think they're just waiting for the right moment after listening for intel from the soliders below before they fire on them. or perhaps they're just gathering intel as spies and will only engage if engaged

This is wonderful. The perspective is great, so is the character design for the two people in the tree, heck the tree itself- it's all well done.

What can I say? WOW. The lighting is the best part IMO. I looked through the tutorial as well and I think you did the right thing choosing to discard the "prisoner" idea. This has so much more anticipation and intrigue.
Colour work is ULTIMATE UBERLEETNESS hehe The clothes and the hair on the guys hair are really well detailed plus the tree branches.
Well, it's just plain sick. V nice. How long did it take?

The perspective is astounding! And I very much like the earthy colors that you chose to use they work very well, and the shading is nothing to snuff at either. Excellently done!

Holy...crap...van Gogh would tip his hat to you. Any darn artist who's ever even drawn a stick figure would tip their hat to you.

CrooklynScriptures [2006-10-02 03:06:43 +0000 UTC]

very nice composition, very balanced. although one exception that i dont really like, the sort of glow around the "scouts", makes its look kinda of like its unfinished a bit, or you wanted the "scouts" to stick out more.

i watched the tutorial for this, and i think the work you put into it is amazing. you changed your ideas more than once, but each time it improved the picture drastically. This inspires me to put that much time and effort into my art too! thanks

Pretty astounding work here. I like the fact that you use a pencil sketch as your line art base - I feel I do much better sketching using pencil and paper than the tablet - don't know why. Anyhow - all said and done - gives me hope for developing my style... Thanks for the tutorial/journal - very cool and well done!

AHHH!! It's so awazing I could pee! Like right now. ..Just. pee. @..@


I am 100% totally in love with your style. Everything about it. The lineart is flawless, and the coloring is accurate and suited to match to a 'T'.
I'm absolutely stunned at the impact the whole composition has. It's all working so seamlessly together, and by your descriptions of its evolution (from your artist's journal) I'd say that you've thought out every factor in this peice on a level that is beyond me.

Absolutely stunned...
