Description

"When facing real evil, far more intelligent, far more heartless and horrifying than you are, what is left to do? The only thing possible is fight it and pray that the Gods will be at your side, for if you fail, the whole world shall be undone."
My main character, Ash(on the right) fighting the Preacher of the Fallen Gods, puppet master Dalros, whose marionettes are made of crushed children bones.
Yes, this concept is as disturbing for me as it is for you, probably even more.

I always love pictures that tell a story or convey an atmosphere successfully. This one manages that very well. The colors and character designs used in this picture are excellent and the overall story about the puppet master and children's bones is very interesting. The first minor critique of this piece would be about the somewhat stiff expression of the character holding the swords (the face could be exaggerated a bit more, to better convey struggle/pain). The poses could also use more exaggeration. They remind me of traditional Russian folk art and book illustrations, which is an interesting style, but I think more theatrical, contorted hands, arms and legs would make your pictures far more impressive. Everything else about the painting is fantastic.
