very cool. Too bad you seeded up the the ornamental armor detailing part. Are these photo bashed?

@JoseConseco Thank you JoseConseco.
Sorry for the armor part. One of my hard drive died while I made this picture and I lost some of my clips.
There is no photobaching in this picture, I don’t use photo, almost never (I would like to sometimes but I am not good at it, Also I would never use photo for metal cause it’s super fun to paint)
Also the metalic parts you can see in this one are pretty simple to render. I think you can see how it’s done. It’s the same approach I used many times. You may be able to spot the process if you look at my work on Art Station for exemple. (cause I really like that kind of reflexions)

I don’t know why you ask exactly, but if you need help with metal rendering on some project feel free to MP me. I would be happy to help you if I can.

There’s nothing about it that looks photobashed to me. 
Sorry - I keep meaning to comment on this! Well - Obviously I liked it or I wouldn’t have nominated it! 
The composition is strong; the pose has good energy and the silhouette of the figure reads well against the background. It has a nice mood with the soft saturation of the sky, the light mist and the sense of a breeze in the hair and cloth. I really like the detailing on the armour - it’s elaborate without being overstated. Those sickle blades look really cool too!
One thing I’m not 100% on is the anatomy - mainly the arms, but it’s not something that jumped out at me. I only thought that after scrutinising the details. I still think you’ve made a good job of a challenging pose; I would struggle with it (in fact - the pose on my vampire pic is a bit similar and I know it has anatomical problems even after all the tweaks! 
).
Overall I think it’s a nicely balanced and visually striking piece.

Thank you for your comment, for the nomination, and for the compliments. 
You may be right!
I worked without reference, so I suppose there are mistakes in anatomy. I realy should be more carefull about it. The pleasure you get is a trap sometimes, cause I realy love working on anatomy without ref… And I definitly should not ^^

Well… It’s a difficult one.
I don’t think your approach is necessarily a problem. I’m not a heavy user of references - I tend to just paint what I think first, then later check references to help me improve whatever I’m painting e.g. anatomy, materials etc.
I generally prefer more expressive figure drawing/painting over heavily referenced ones; though classical realism can be very exciting too. I suppose my own style has evolved from trying to satisfy my interest in both.
I fell out of the habit of regular anatomy study many years ago, so my anatomy knowledge isn’t really strong enough to do what I want. I think that most of my learning these days comes from checking what I’ve painted out of my head against references, then extrapolating to correct mistakes as best I can.
So; I’m definitely in the camp of ‘paint first, ask questions later’. But then I usually end up having to fix drawing problems that would have been much easier at the start; before I carefully painted everything in detail! Still I keep doing it over and over…
…and then moan about my bad habits to anyone who’ll listen!
