Fantasy gallery

Title: After the battle


" The sun faded beyond the distant mountains. The warrior marvelled to find himself still standing, bloodied by friend and foe alike, but alive. His spirit sank into desolation despite his body's survival. He found no glory in victory. Only weariness, and the sense of loss.

Perhaps a new dawn would bring fresh glory, but in the withering light of destruction's triumph, he sought only meaning. "

The above wonderful caption was written for this image by the Fantasy writer Jaq D. Hawkins. Thank you Jaq, I think you did an excellent job. To learn more about the author visit her website at www.jaqdhawkins.co.uk.

A depiction of a warrior during a moment of reflection after a tough and bloody battle... I started this painting back in 2003 after a difficult period in my life. I worked on it for a couple of weeks and then almost totally forgot about it until recently. Although I never found the inspiration to finish it, I think it's good enough to be in the gallery. Hope you like it. Painted in Photoshop.

I like the way you have pictured the blood splatters over his arm and his sheild/sword, you see so many paintings/pictures of wariors/battles and theres no blood anywhere, its very realistic :)
GREAT PAINTING!

In mid 1995 I bought my first 3D software called Bryce and have been using it ever since. It's great for landscape creation and much else. In fact Bryce has been essential for the creation of most of my sci-fi, surreal and space artwork. A 3D software I can highly recommend:

Bryce 6.1
