Whew, well it was the most involved thing I've done so far, but it's finally finished. This is a piece for War Patriot's Villain group "The Confederate States of America".

The concept was War Patriot's and I hope I didn't let him down.

Here's the link:

Very nice. The tilty camera angle is cool. All the lighting and stuff in the background came out really nice, too. Overall quite pulled together and I think anyone would be very happy with that piece.

Todd man, happy isn't quite the word for it. Initially it's dumbfounding, then it moves to jubilation. Great job.

Agreed, the view angle combined with the battle drone sitting there right up[ front gives it a unique look, kudos!

Awesome! I'm thrilled you like it man . I think I do want to tweek one thing about the footer and that is to go back and add the character names down there above the VG title, cause they're pretty dang clever and would help tie in the whole Southern theme.

I had that thought a while back and I'm not sure how it slipped my mind now.

Thanks again for being so patient.

Excellent piece! Obviously a lot of care went into a lot of separate-but-coincidentally-momentarily-intersecting threads, and there's a successful cohesion to the whole of this intersection. I really like the softening technique used on the far away smoke column, (the non-softened smoke patch in the top center looks a little less nice when forced into comparison).

Not that it's all that noticeable, but the big guy's left arm seems to be in a confusing spot. It's a bit scrawny and non-goliath-like, and it's almost pseudo-grasping the flagpole. It almost comes across as mutant third arm of the foreground villainess. Perhaps you might consider next time posing this sharp-dressed guy's free hands in dapper ways, such as fiddling with his tie or tipping his fedora?

Oh my that is amazing! There is no way you let anyone down with that, it's beautiful.
