Battle doesnt need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You dont ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Dont ask why i fight.

Damn thats scary:XD:awesome stuff, looks great as usual! How the hell do you crazy guys do this stuff?!

Hehe you are trying to do what some other gosu digital painters do -) It's when they say "speed paint" and post a work that looks both rough and unfinished and elegant and polished at the same time. That is the art of making deliberatly cool looking messy speed paintings. And the whole trick is that they polished certain technique to such an extant that they could cram what would take you or me 4-5 hours of rendering in "about 2 hours of speed paint". They also use textural brushes A LOT. Cuz it creates a serface right away saving your time on actually brushing the staff manually.
About this one in particular.
It looks more messy then elegant. One trick that I see ppl use a lot on these speed paintings is that they would leave spots of the painting undefines but then put substantially more detail on some kind of focal part of it. Also they seem to use soft brush first and only come with hard edged one later to define sertain elements -)

Yeap i've seen the pro speed painters, many of them have different techniques of going about their stuff :) I actually had alot of fun doing this, using the 100% opacity Hard Brush 90% of the time, and no custom brushes hehe. Will develop more on this style!
