Thanks, Steven! I guess that’s because of my limited palette and hence more contrast. I wanted to give the road a little more structure but I was a bit afraid it would shift the onlooker’s point of view too much away from the man. And yes, he turned out a bit bigger than in the original and I only realized it when I was almost finished. I thought a lot about this guy and the situation as I was working on the piece and I guess that biased me a bit.
thanks feiss! Well, I pushed some single pixels around on the tanks but most of the time I was happy with what I got so far and it still looked nice a day later (I did one tank in one session) . I guess it's all up to our personal way of working. Still: When I mess up with the palette and change colors half way through, I have to revisit the whole piece too :)
I love the color choices here. They feel a bit more "real" than the colors of the photograph we've all seen of Tank Man (or the expanded version of said photograph). Tank Man himself looks a bit larger than in the actual photograph, but I won't dock you any rating points for an issue of personal nitpicking. Kudos to you on your hard work! 
brilliant! congrats Phil :)
One thing that surprises me while viewing the making of is that once you painted the tanks, you didn't revisit them anymore. It's painted, it's finished. Which is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong! more on the contrary :). I usually revisit and retouch and repaint so much that this shocks me a bit :)
aha recognized this immediatly.
Looks really well done.
A realistic rendering indeed!
