Stay here.

This was the original one rejected off of Elfwood, why? not fantasy enough! The story is based off the old bull and the young bull. The young cock-sure mercenary struts up to the table to demand his pay from the older, wiser mercenary, who promptly says, "Stay here, I'll go get it!"

Hey its Galatea from ET, I love the scene, I can almost imagine it happening! Good job with all that background wood too! I had a recent rejection from Elfwood, according to them there was a small strip of white around the edge of a picture of a dragon...thats why they rejected it. ^_^

Artist Reply: Ha ha, I had one rejected because the border wasn't even! Thanks.

Oh my goodness--total illustrative style here--and poignant! Wouldn't want to be that 'young blood'--yikes! Sorry about Elfwood--but hey, it's Elfwood, what can you do? Looks like there are many others out there shaking their head about the 'fantasy' vs. well, 'fantasy'--to each his own. Don't let that get you--there are many who didn't even submit and then feel bad they weren't picked--now isn't THAT something? I'll continue to keep an eye on your work. :) -Kerra

Artist Reply: Thanks for the comment. I don't know art, I just sort of know what I like. I still don't understand the "not fantasy" rejection.

Sorry this didn't make Elfwood. I know my Lupus picture that you commented on was rejected from Elfwood also, said it wasn't fantasy enough. As if vines grab people and pull them down...go figure. ;)As for this picture I think you have a lot of nice shading! I also like the composition and subject. I will have to check out the updated one on Elfwood!

Wayne Hingley
Artist Reply: Thanks Valarie. The updated version has only a slight change to it but I guess it was enough.

I THINK IT IS AWESOME WORK, WAYNE! NO REJECTION HERE!

Wayne Hingley
Artist Reply: Thanks, The rejection didn't bother me as much as the reason for the rejection, they said it wasn't fantasy enough! The only difference was to replace the window with two 'head' trophies.

I can't believe EW rejected this,well I guess I can they are getting kinda stupid over there.Great picture though Wayn i love the expressions on both their faces very well done.The only thing I would change is the eye on the young guys face is a little too far forward.You should see the bridge of his nose connecting to his forehead not just eyeball.Other than that very well done.Each picture is better than the last!!!! Keep up the great work Wayne!!!!!

Artist Reply: Thanks Patrick. You've seen the touched up version at EW, I was just showing the original and reason why it was rejected.(not fantasy enough?) I was having a hell of a time with the profile until my son (unknowingly) modeled for me, he was sitting at a table playing with his sister, while I sketched the final details.
