Wonderful! Fantastic! Bravo!

Thank you guys, I appreciate all of your comments!

I don't wish to repeat any thoughts previously written here. I'm just going to say that the number of things I can find here that astound me, inspire me, or delight me is growing geometrically each time I return.

Just echoing the fact that the rendering is insane. This has such a great feeling of depth, and I love how the design and palette give it such an otherwordly feel. This is fantasy art done right!

rendering exceptional and the blue tinted highlights are so satisfying

unreal rendering!

Incredible work.

I absolutelly love this. Floored by it!

Thanks man! Yeah, I've been going a bit harder with art this year, really nice to hear the improvement is visible!

I guess it's not too bad, huh . Honestly, I still see a lot I can improve upon, it's hard for me to praise my own work. I really appreciate what you're saying though, comments like this make my day.

Your artwork this year is incredible, you have improved greatly and this closing work of the year is direct proof of that. Diamond! I'm glad you changed the preview, this art is a must be seen. 

you realize how good this is, right? Not just technically, but the character design, too. If this were painted as a fantasy illustration 40 years ago, it would still see rotation today on art blogs

Amazing. Great feeling of volume to it. It reminds me a bit of Javier Marin's horse and rider sculptures (which are also brilliant). 

Pixel art that tells a story

wow i really like the unusual color palette :O

You mentioning sprite for a video game made me think of how hellish it would be to animate such a thing, but thank you!

I'm glad you like it, Werebike. :)

Thank you, Memaid, your gift is great!

Thank you n0mzat, that's really to cool to hear, I enjoyed your piece as well!

I like the style, vibe... the designs of the horse and the knight. Feels like a 80s/90s sci-fi book cover or a sprite from a video game from that era

Wow, this is amazing! The atmosphere, the armour, the colours... thank you so much

Wow, that gift wrap is amazing! And what was inside did not disappoint 

The detailing work is sublime! Color choice is excellent! Gonna have to study this in the future, would love to be able to do something of a similar effect in my pieces =) 

Thanks n0mzat! I think what's inside wont disappoint 

Woah, rad gift wrap! Love how realistic it looks. Perfect color choice :3
