Poseidon by *Benbe ( Featured by ^SRudy )
:iconswanlullaby:
Magnífico retrato lleno de realismo y detalles.
Como amante de la mitología estoy impresionado, sobretodo porque siempre he pensado que las deidades griegas especialmente los varones de más renombre, deberían siempre estar caracterizadas como personas maduras, llenas de experiencias, sabiduría y curtidos en históricas batallas.

Gran detalle en la túnica y sus dobleces; me encanta ese color azul, símbolo del mar y de la esfera que gobierna este dios.
Detallado igualmente es el tridente, lleno de adornos que hacen alusión de nuevo al océano. Grandes juegos de luces y sombras para conseguir el brillo metálico de dicha arma.

El fondo es magistral y el modelo es digno de ponerlo en un altar. La técnica para realizar la anatomía humana es impresionante.
Te felicito por este gran trabajo y espero ver en un futuro otras obras parecidas.

This piece was done very well. The details in this make it look realistic as well as majestic. The detailed engravings on the Trident are simple yet beautiful. The only thing that irks me is the bottom part of the Trident which should be darker because of Poseidon.
The expression on Poseidon's face shows a kind of ancient
The reader is pulled in due to the intensity of the blue. But the soft background tones this down. On the top right of the picture, the clouds are realistic. However at the left corner, they take on a more foggy and mysterious quality. Was this done on purpose?. I really love how you've made the vein of the left arm prominent. And that the hair on this chest and the small marks are subtle but interesting details.
The amount of detail is this is amazing. This is great.

Impresionante!!! es increíble el gran realismo que has aportado en esta pintura y más cuando está hecha en pastel. No tenia constancia de que se pudiera pintar en pastel a tan gran tamaño. últimamente se pinta pastel sobre soportes de papel pero nunca había pensado que se pudiera pintar sobre madera! es increíble!! Me gustaría saber qué tipo de madera utilizas? Me gustaría saberlo gracias

Pastel??????? Are you serious? My, it's Amazing! I've never seen such a sharpness in a pastel. Oh, and the smoothness of the velvet, the hirsute beard. It's brilliant. I thought it was a photo, I'm honest, and discovering it's a traditional work, made with somthing like the pastels, that aren't easy at all, they crumble, and the colors risk always to stir, leves me astonished.
