Confederate Soldier...finished

[jibberish]

well, here he is...i've finished him for the most part. i would like suggestions, because he could always use some work. anyway, i don't have much to say about this project...if anyone has any questions, i'll be more than willing to answer them.

I'd say all your hard work has paid off. The battle hardened young man against a desolete and gloomy landscape is very moving and powerful. Great job Josh :tu: :tu: :tu:

[filament9]

You brought it all together just right I'd say. His expression is perfect!

[Ron Harris]

I agree with the others...great job.....and he turned out really good.....if I were going to say anything to improve.....I would lay down a little shadow on the plants and then in the further back plants maybe play with the blur brush on them and that would give it a little more depth.....great job though overall..... :tu: :tu: :tu:

[jibberish]

thanks for the comments, everyone. i really appreciate them.

Ron, if i get some more suggestions, i'll put them all together and make the pic look better...thanks for the tip!

here's a comparison of when i first started making the image, and the final one. i just thought it was cool how much it had improved. even though i've been using Z for nearly a year now, i still am amazed by it.

[Kathy]

That expression is great. ;)

Real nice job. I like how the whole picture carries of consistency of color and textures to support the subject matter. :tu: :tu:

[DeeVee]

I like the final update. I think it captures the period nicely.

[Stonecutter]

Yep, a very expressive, and eloquent painting... :tu: :tu: :tu: :cool: :)
The dark mood you set with the lighting and color matches the subject very well...Fine job! :tu: :)

[jibberish]

hey all, thanks for the supportive comments and the helpful advice.
Ron, i tried blending the grass in the back...what do you think?
dr. jjwow, i didn't really know what you meant by "more light" but i tried something out...and i couldn't figure out a way to make the hat thinner w/o making a whole new hat...
anyway, here's the updated pic...

My favorite part of this is his expression. Having the hat dip down to cover one eye was a nice touch, too. It's clear you've put a lot of time and work into this. :tu:

[robotalk]

Totally splendid work--great in every way :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Nova]

Yes... very, very nice picture.

About his expression, he sure looks upset. :D

Looks awsome Jibberish! The whole atmosphere is one of desolation. Great job on the skin, and the expression too! :)
