Description Artwork done for New Horizon

Info taken from the website:

New Horizon is a campaign about the ultimate destiny of the abstracted concept of humanity. Not limited strictly speaking to humans, the story is designed not just to explore humanity as we know it, but the many different directions it can possibly go, what these new branches of humanity are like, and how the old fashioned models of humanity like us deal with them, and further deal with the changes in themselves.

To that end, the series is broken into three distinct time periods. Road to New Horizon, New Horizon and Beyond the New Horizon. The familiar and mysterious past, the turbulent present and the distant and inexplicable future.

The series begins in the middle, intentionally leaving many mysteries of the past left behind on earth, and exploring a future far enough removed from ours, we both set ourselves up for the notion that there are other forms of humanity walking the street with us, an incredible notion in and of itself, but also to dress the issues we find in the world around us up in as something other than what they are, so we can look at them objectively in terms of issues of morality.

The central phase is set two hundred years after the colonization of the second moon of Epsilon Eridani IV, the planet dubbed New Horizon. The Colony Planet had a turbulent and somewhat hazy set of formative, wracked with a few historical mysteries which weren't properly committed to the history books.

At current, full scale imperial expansion is now in swing, with many feuding loosely allied city states sitting on top of many smaller renegade or internal factions attempting to rise to prominence from within, or by less scrupulous means.

Wow, great detailing! Not sure if those shoes will provide very useful in that environment though, for the girl.
And that's a really interesting concept!

Great landscape, but I think I would prefer to see the characters acting like they really would be in that situation. In other words I would prefer if they weren't directly addressing the viewer.

I've got to say this is a truly impressive take on the characters form Eriances concept work! The colors, poses and scenery are all full of delicious flavor and texture, and this puppy looks hella awesome in our book! I can't wait to see your next one!

duke-drake88 [2010-02-18 11:25:02 +0000 UTC]

maybe you could add a bit of a gauntlets on her 2

bow hand would be plate on the back of the hand with a soft fabric on the palm. arrow hand would also be plate on the back soft on the palm except for pointer and middle wich would be just simply bare.

its just a pointer cause on a ranger the most important part is the hands so she can weild a bow, her legs could be slashed but as long as she could pull a bow back she would still be able to fight.

warrors more focus on movement so defending the calf as you did is very important. you can weild a sword with one hand as long as you got legs to rush your opponet with.

love the detail you put in it. and other then the things i pointed out its great.
