Well, I finished it. Hooray! (You can see the sketch and lines in my scraps, if'n you're interested.)
This is St George, glorious martyr and slayer of dragons. He is the patron of England, soldiers, the Boy Scouts, Portugal, cavalry, chivalry, farmers, and many many more. He is also one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (I just found this out today!), whose intercession was thought to be particularly effective against disease.
He's also my patron saint. And, yeah, I should probably be posting this on April 23, his feast day, but since I finally finished it I couldn't wait any longer!
Let's see, technical stuff:
Sketched on computer paper, cleaned up on parchment paper, then scanned and colored in Photoshop.
I really like the shine on his armour for some reason, it has an almost celestial glow.

Very sexy. I love how you did the treatment of the armor; Great textures and reflection of light, so subtle and so effective. THe whole color palette in this is really quite harmonious and beautiful.
this is amazing ! when i was little i read a story about him, and i loved him forever hahaha, this pic is so great, the coloring, the way you paint the armor...
Some people have been asking me about this stuff so I decided to gather all information in one single article on how to make your own portfolio, in a profesional and clean looking way. I hope it's useful, because these steps I myself take.
DeviantArt is full of extremely well produced artistic fashion and fine art photographs. Make up. Styling. Creation of scenery. Story. Light. Glamour. A combination of these expressions sometimes make up a great photograph. But the protagonists of these pictures are usually female.
So... now it's the time for male models to come into focus.
How to make DA work for YOU! Taking an in-depth look at how to make deviantART work for you, and getting the most out of your user experience. How to get comments, watches, your work scene, commented on, critiqued, and what you have to do. These are some of the things which I have learned since joining more than 4 1/2 years ago.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
