Richard Vs. Darken Rahl - First Battle Wallpaper & Avatars

Okey doke - it's time for Mr. Evil to make his first appearance in my artwork. I had fun w/ this piece - it was less about brushwork and more about fancy blending.

They are looking darkish and mysterious! GOOD!

Yeah I really liked how this came out. I did a lot of work to synchronize the color pallet - the glowing sword gives the whole piece a nice feel of danger :)

[aglaiya]

I totally agree!

Hee hee - Yeah I know, I think the awesome swordfighting in LOTS gets me excited more than anything because I grew up on Star Wars and at my heart am a Star Wars geek.

This piece reminds me of my Anakin/Obi-Wan piece:

Awesome work!

That scene was super intense wasn't it? I expected an arm or a few fingers to go flying at any moment.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh I know - man it was so FAST, after seeing so many fights where Richard is going after clunky D'Haran soldiers it was really great seeing him fighting someone who he was well matched with. It was also nice seeing Rahl doing something other than just standing around and looking EVIL!

[myangelmia]

Yeah, super fast! Rahl had some skill huh? He cheated at the end though cause Richard totally had him!

[rkc_erika]

Yes and that's the problem - Richard is all about Honor and Rahl isn't - he's the bad guy. Richard won't be able to defeat him just in a sword fight.

Thanks I'm glad that you like it!
