His ascent into the canopy was a sacrificial, naive testament.


Another chapter illustration for that story I'm working out.

Word. This is a great piece. Great movement and focus. And the palette is fantastic: certainly not colors you see every day, but they really work.

The foreground figure reminds me of something, but my Art History is failing me. I want to say it looks like a self-portrait Raphael sneaked into one of his paintings.

Fantastic colors! The teal and oranges work really well together. I like the way you've rendered the trees, the leaves in particular look great.

Lovely work; I like how the cool greens and blues frame the main action of the scene - it makes for a very nice composition. The use of color is also superb. :>

Thanks dude. Sort of a funny story about the palette, I have a friend who won a Hallmark greetingcard contest a while back, and our palettes (and subject matter to a degree) are very similar. Though I arrived at my palette through a lot of pushing around of the colors, the likeness is big.
