Ditto CMYK46! The color of the monster works well with the yellow grass, but the man and the sky are too similar, which reduces the focus on the main character. I though that you make the warrior all from the contest source, but still the blending is very well. Just a minor change in the hand of the statue but it's brilliant! I don't know if others have the same though as mine or not, but the hilt of his sword seems too big to be handled IMHO (I know that you keep the right hand, the statue is holding something like a sword, but I think it's not the sword because every sword is fitted to the owner's hand ). Best of luck to you, author.

author says:

Thanks for the comments! Thanks langstrum I did notice the sword handle was too big but forgot to adjust it, I've thinned the handle and closed the hand over it. I also adjusted the sky color and value to better separate but the color similarity is intentional.
Yes CMYK46 it took an hour to find the statue, the sky was used by Rick LaMesa in the unusual storms contest last year and is from flickr.

Excellent work author.. but err ummm... he's BLUE.. not ebony... almost Navy.. actually is Navy (Your title sucks) hehehehehehe

Absolutely BRILLIANT... FANTASTIC WORK instant fav

EDIT: JUST TEASING.. oooo.. though now you got me thinking how neat he would look if he was MARBLE BLACK or JET ONYX.. yowza!! ( this is great of course

author says:

True Slushie he's actually metallic as I mentioned, Ebony is a black wood found in Africa. I have several Ebony sculptures and an interesting property is how light alters the surface tonality, warm light gives a yellow cast, cool light shifts the tone toward blue. This guy just reflects the blue/black sky tone but he is very dark. "Ebony" Warrior sounds better than "Blue/black" Metal Guy.
