Artist's Comments

I haven't done any tiefling-related art for a while, so here ya go. This is dedicated to the fangirls of Valen Shadowbreath (Neverwinter Nights Hordes of the Underdark).

I was having a difficult time posing that tail. I'm sure Valen makes his girls doubly happy with that tail of his, but it's a pain in the arse (haha! pun intended) placing it in the scene.

I need suggestions on how to improve this one, pretty please :-)

Thanks for viewing.

...whoa.

I honestly can't see much of anything to improve, here. The musculature on Valen's body is perfect, the shadowing suggests a dismal, hopeless surrounding (I'm assuming this is when he was in Grimash't's clutches). Maybe a bit more detail on the background...? Or did you intentionally leave it ambiguous?

Regardless, this is just AMAZING!

Ah, THE Mistress of Shadows atacks!

One thing I would change is make Val's skin more pale, but that's just me...

Anyway - love it.

Quite tasty, even for a non-PTF!

The rendering programs don't really provide the anatomy for tails on humanoids, do they?

Depending on how comfortable you are with Photoshop, I might suggest a bit of postwork in the sacroiliac region to make the tail look like a natural extension of the spine, but you've done an excellent job of using the positioning of the chain to take attention away from the awkward spot.

This is one striking piece of work. It's dark and dismal but still Valen fights.

I see you have used a photographic concept in keeping the focus on Valen and allowing the background to be a bit fuzzy to show that the intent is on the tiefling and his predicament.

Nice.

And now I shall be less coherent about this:

Humina! Drool drool. ;)

Yep! I've studied photography in the past so I guess it's no surprise that the influence is there. Glad you like it :-)

I noticed you mentioning your photographic background. You seem to keep that in perspective with most of your work. Especially with light and shadow :)

It's an extorinary piece.
