Felt like redoing the one I did in 2009

Higher resolution of new one can be viewed via:

It took me so long and I hope it was worth it in the end even though there are some mistakes that I still need to fix. I just feel like I need to move on. ^^; No matter, I've learned a lot from it.

Wow! Impressive improvement, You outdid yourself, the amount of detail is gorgeous but so the colour values, the illumination, material painting and light spill. The new piece feels so much rich in many aspects. Just to cite the one that comes to my mind more clearly: There is a sense of "perhaps there is a civilization that really had a noble like him" behind it.

Great piece.

Thank you :D I'm trying my best.. however I feel like with more fully rendered piece, it lost the 'expressive' part the 1st one had. *shrug*

I'll try to find some balance in that, somehow.:D It's good to know I improved though.

The one before looked good because it was more expressive where the new one is just realism. You can't really say the latest one is better than the older one cause they are done to two completely different styles XD. Personally I think there's more loveable and expressive movement in the first :).

I have to agree with you Chiramu, that's exactly why I prefer speed painting over refined work. I just can't seem to be able to tie both together and it's my goal to do so. lol :D
Thank you so much for your honest opinion, deeply appreciated!

No problem ;P you could try to incorporate some Impressionist stylings to your work if you want to mix the expressive brush strokes with detailed work :/. I was just looking at works by Manet thinking if they could actually help XD.

It could possibly help :), still wonderful work to look at XD.

Ah it's useful! :) Thank you! That is exactly the effect I've been wanting to achieve.. very nice spontaneous and effortless feeling! :heart: And yes wonderful to look at too! ;) Classical art masters aren't called that name for nothing!
