Wonderful stuff. I agree with Duvodas though, the face isn't quite right. Needs to look a bit younger and also more oriental.
Great work though

Karsa looks really great!

My only criticism is with apsalar's face really. Her features take up too much of the front of her head. A bit too cartoon-ey or something...not enough forehead or chin...hard to describe what I mean. I like the aged look of her though, contrary to the others. Her face looks like it could still be young, but is drawn out and stressed looking. Seems to me like being possessed would wear on your appearance a bit. I also like the detail and scrollwork on her boots / armor...fits nicely with the other colours in the painting and makes her jump into the foreground much better than she would if she was all black.
The only criticism for Karsa is the lack of background. A mound of bodies under his feet or a burning thatch roofed cottage in the background would be cool. I like the impossibe hugeness of the sword. The way SE described him carving it out, I just always pictured it as a FF type thing. Crazy looking pose too and good tattoos.

That is some great stuff right there, mate!
My only complaint is that Apsalar's face looks sort of older than what she should be.

I'll take the opposite tack and say she looks just right. The "older than she should look" feeling is caused by Cot's possession.

cheers for the comment dudes you rock! with regards to Karsas' sward a couple o' people on other sites have commented on it being too big so I'm gonna get some more Karsa work on the go, as far as Apsalars' age and orientleness (yes that is a word I just made up) thats down to me not being very good at drawing chicks, though it has given me alot to think about for the next time I draw a girl or woman.......or crone

Yeah let's see some KCCM or Forkrul Assail pics!
What about Osseric? Never seen a pic of him.
By the way...you may want to hold some of these back for the upcoming art contest
