This is the remake of one of my first digital paintings. I had make it almost 3 years ago. Base perspective blocks had been painted in 3dsmax, rest in photoshop. I´ve decided to refine the picture before posting it here. So I hope you´ll see, that three years period mean´s some enhancement of my skills.

Story behind pic is about some medieval hero seeking through old crusader fortress full of undead knights.

Hope you'll like it
This is one of many illustrations I've made for online RPG/Strategy game NIBOREA, which is by the way absolutely great and funny game! 
This is better version of previous illustration.

I saw it as a bookcover from "Tarean - Sohn des Fluchbringers" by Bernd Perplies. And as I saw this, I had to buy it!
Very great
1.) This truly is an amazing piece of art. You can almost feel the cold and the rain that the hero feels.
2.) Have you ever seen the cover art to the Doctor Who novel The Eyeless by Lance Parkin? I'm not very link savvy, so here's the URL to the wikipedia page: [link] . The art IS basically this piece, just sci-fi-ed up a bit. but anyway, this IS amazing!!!
2. WTF Bastrads! They obviously ripped off my picture! Thx for informing! Not sure waht to do about that but nice to know ..
It has that Castlevania feeling. Great work!
