I finally found the time to finish (more or less) my painting of Alagart Sadmore - OC from our project called The Inexplicit (made by my colleague Rossy and me). This is maybe one of my most complex works so I decided to make it useful as an entry for the incredible i-Talent contest by . .
I already made couple (three to be exact) posts about him, where I shared different works in progress.

This was the previous version of my scene:
In my last post pointed out very accurately that I should make the wall decorations more embossed and that was my next step. Another thing that I found lacking was the marble slabs in the base between the floor and the wall (I'm not very sure how's that called in english).
Using some basic Bevel and Emboss in Photoshop I managed to achieve a bit of this 3-dimensional effect.
Another thing that needed change were the tiles on the floor in the left corner. Because I was transforming the whole floor as one layer, for some reason one part got drastically deformed. So I had to make new tiles and be more careful how I place them this time.
I also added more light to contrast the space around Alagart and some reflection on the floor. That way the tiles look much better.
It was time to draw the curtain. A bit of research was needed before painting the folds. Also had to blur all in the end, because the main focus is on my Al.
At this point I feel a bit sad for all the details that had to be blurred.
Next was the marble railing. Also a thing that wasn't painted by my hand 'till now.
Because the railing is so far behind the main figure and illuminated by bright sunlight, it doesn't need details. In fact, I did only the basic shape and then added a bit of light in one side. Nothing more. ;)
Finally, repeated the same ornaments on the door, placed some trees and added more light with a bit of a bokeh effect.
And some close up images:
There's also a GIF made by all works in progress:
Hope you like him.
Have a great day, everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
