HAH! I knew it! I saw this and thought 'Dang, that looks like frazetta in his Conan the Barbarian days'. This piece is quite well done for a stylistic interpretation. I quite enjoy the feel of the piece, even though it is somewhat lighter than the original, and I admire your ability to reproduce that feel of paint in a digital medium (something I've struggled with over the last couple of months in learning to draw). I will say that the only critique I could give this is that I think the top of the shield could use a little work...looking at the original, the feel of a bronze shield really hammers you and you can tell that quite a bit of effort was put into reproducing that metal feel...perhaps if you lower the brightness on the piece a little overall and then pull up the reflection off the shield a bit? As it is the part where the glinting reflection in the original is, in your piece looks like it almost wants to be a reflection, but is just dabbed on there.
Overall though you've done an excellent job capturing the technique of the piece. I think that for fantasy artists/illustrators, this is what we strive for (if I can so place myself in the bottom of the ranks of a fantasy artist), being able to recapture one of those momentous pieces that we saw as kids skimming through a dungeon mag that made us stop and say 'Whoa...so cool!'. Well done!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
