Hi all, sorry to repost this again, however I went back and took new photos in order to get better close ups of the paint job on Tiriel, as requested. I hope this answers a lot of the questions about her!!

Here was my entry for CCV. My goal here was to create a full scene with a story and ambience in this piece. I had this idea floating around in my head and when I thought about adding the Tiriel model it just clicked for me. The idea of a paladin facing a dragon, believing that her faith is more important than her sword, reflecting her mindset, I felt really added to the whole story here. Thank you Hasslefree for such a wonderful model.

Also big thank you to Frenchkid, who gave me the idea of dualing shadows on a backdrop in the first place. The backdrop is completely painted on a 2d surface. I've been working to challenge myself combining 2d & 3d in my pieces. I think it was a great learning experience for me.

Thank you for all your CCV votes, she ended up best in show. And thank you Jason for such a wonderful and fun event!

-Eric

Great idea! The thing bringing it down is the background, the shadows are to harshly painted to my eyes. Shadows are softer and with more tones of grey. I don't like the brickwall also.. i looks very painted and detracts from the mood. The osl from the fire looks great and the mini itself is topnotch. Great mood.. and i just totally misread the title. May faith Project? who tf is May Faith..? lol it all made more sence with protect. well.. again great, inspiring work. /Sven

That is truly gorgeous work. I love the lighting effect, and the inspiration is marvelous. I just may have to steal an idea or two from this. Bravo!

Congratulations on the best in show! *civilised applause* The concept is fantastic,it sent my head into whirls of new ideas,a truly inspiring piece.This is definitely one of my favourites from this site,and of your work.The diminished colouring on the smoke from the Dragons nose shows the effort you put into your work and the lighting on Tiriel is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

I think this is just about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen here. Magnificent. I think it's the best example of source lighting I've ever seen, either. Just perfect in every aspect.
