Once again: Great work!

Goodness, that's great. The poor giant suffering from adventurer-induced headache and his wife...
(Oh, and I really adore Gann's Chronicles, especially the Knee +2)

That Reaper looks really great - I love the way you painted the robes, there's lots of motion in the fabric. And I like the colours - not the 'usual' gloomy scene.
Yet I had to look twice to find the dead body (and I just notice how totally endearing that sounds), because his colours are similar to the background. Maybe a tidbit more of a dark shadow under the body would strengthen the contrast. Bold outlines would work, too - my art teacher always recommended that.  


But - and I do not know why - the setting reminds me of something remotely different: Do you know that story about the old man who knows that his end is soon to come? He awakes one night because of an odd cold creeping into his bedroom from behind the door, sees a bright light, hears the door creak as it opens and finally faces Death. The Reaper turns his head, extends his bony hand while the scythe is gleaming in the unearthly light - and then he notices the old man, shrugs and says '...beg your pardon, I was just looking for the cat...'

Maybe because the Reaper in your picture seems to be blissfully unaware of the pile of work that is brandishing a sword over there  

(/strange nighttime rant )

First of all: I really like that minotaur's head and the facial expression. And the flag, of course. Lovely little skull on top.

Something that just occured to me is the way the minotaur is standing: If the abdominal muscles indicate that his upper body is turned to the left, as the shoulders are, then his hips don't follow the movement, if I'm not mistaken. If his left leg was positioned a tidbit farther to the back, the pose would look more balanced, I think.
Ah, and one more thing about that leg: Might be due to perspective, but to me it seems a bit shorter than the right leg, which is bent in two joints, if I get it right, and the part in between looks longer in the right leg.

Anydoodle: I'd like to see that one coloured ^^.

Mazzy's face is indeed peculiar, I totally agree.
The lips made me look at them twice since they are somewhat unsymmetric (is it just me, or does the right part of the lower lip look a bit swollen? Maybe it's just the strong shadows tricking me...). Maybe someone thought they'd make a nice contrast to the rather sharp outlines of her face. The jawbones are quite prominent as well, and I think that the strong shadows make her facial features (especially the nose) altogether look somewhat angular.

And hell, I just noticed that the original portrait's eyebrows are dark enough to make me look at them before I realize the rest of the face  
Oh, well...
