I need some crits here to push this to the finishline...
Sorry that the image might be a bit small, and it's probably gonna be halfcovered in commercials for a sec or two.

It's inspired by the classic gangster-movies and resorvair dogs, depicting some rundown part of town with some mobster doing the classic tarantino-walk. Now I need all the help I can get to make this one better. I think all colours may be a bit too saturated. Any tips and crits appreciated!
*edit*made some minor changes, but both images are included :)
*edit* Thanx to Danilo I hope I can show u this without the link. Hope it works.

Nice for scatch, but I will start final again. You have a lot of perspective errors.

This is where you can upload images and link them to concept art and other. :chug:

I saw your site. You are realy good at composition, but you need mor drawing-painting practice. You remind me to some north expressionist.

Hi gallon,
I quite like this piece for the feel of it. It has the right feel for a mafia style gangster film, not only because of the use of scenery and costume but also the choice of colours.
If anything I would suggest the addition of texture in the surrounding scene, or perhaps grit and scratches, to help heighten that old photograph sorta thing- then again, maybe that's been done to death.
I like your simple use of highlights and shadows as well- quite effective

Howdy, itīs nice to see some new stuff from you. I have to agree a bit on the perspective issue, the wagon looks like itīs on its way to fall over :) I think that it looks like the horizon is nīt planar, as if the photographer didnt hold the camera straight.

Push it further, add some textures to the bg and work the characters some more.

(the gangsta on the left looks more like a cowboy to me, maybe its the flared legs on his pants ;P)
