Artist's Comments
Rsi Bhisma, who is the elder of two side that begun the Bhatara Yudha's war of Bharata's clan, Pandava and Kaurava, seat in calm. He gazed at the Kurusetra and rethink of how could be the war of Mahabharata is on. This is really a precious and momentousness moment. All of his family battling to each other in the name of Dharma. Actually, he confused. He battle with himself about to serve his country or to protect his family. It is a kind of dilemma. But, his choice and commitment to serve the motherland was the great and hard decision ever for sure.
I think Rsi Bhisma is one of the most important character / figure after Sri Krishna at the Bharata Yudha's. He is my favourite patriot and warrior. Comments Memang ciri khas goresannya mas Marthy

-- safe | semi | burst  First off. Great painting! Even though it's digital media, it gives off the feel of a traditional painting, which in my opinion is a good thing for an artist. Good use of texture/patterns on his body armour, could have been a little subtle but still good! Some very minor painting modifications are needed but the overall finished product is very good! I don't know if i am the only one interpreting it like this, but the way the clouds are all roaring upwards, as an indication of war, is a show stealer!!

Critiques
The painting has captured his essence very well, Strong, Masculine, Royal, Knightly, Courageous, Wise and Kind.
His expression speaks a lot of his dilemma of the war, to serve his current King or to sacrifice for his grandchildren the Pandavas, it's all in the eyes and it's captured well here.
The texture is intricate, although my only issue is with the red cape. I would have loved the cape to be more like the left side which looks more like fabric than the right side which looks more like plastic.
The colour scheme reminds me of his power, or some may call it his "curse", the will to choose his own time of death. He suffered with this boon, yet he used it well, he allowed himself to be shot with arrows in the war by his own grandson Arjuna of the Pandavas, but he lay there with those arrows piercing his body for days and only chose to die when the war finally ended with the Pandavas winning it. Fire, Blood, War, the colour palette is truly superb.
