There are many things I like about this piece. I like the elf's pose, and your style of painting. I really like the two-bladed sword you included as well. I think two things could improve the piece. Make the pose for the Minotaur a bit more movement-oriented, and vary the color a little for a bit more contrast to bring out some details you wish the viewer to focus on. I really like the style of it though, nice piece.

Nice picture! If you work on it a little bit longer it will be great!

Maybe some cooler colours towards behind the minotaur - it will give more depth to the picture.

The elf is really cool but the minotaur looks a bit dumbfounded, like 'what's that elf trying to do?' Maybe he can be more decisive or more motion like he will defend/attack. It can be achieved by changing the right leg (left for us) and the mouth, i think.

I really like this one, I agree with contrasting the colors a bit more, but I personally like the poses. It reminds me of a boss battle in an RPG or something, like, the boss was -waiting- for him! Maybe move his right leg just a little.:3 That's what I get out of it.
I can just see the Minotaur saying "mine's bigger than yours" XD sorry, but that ax is great! Looks like it could cut through a house! :D

Irate Costumer: hmm.. bring the detail... i'll try that.. thx!

Good quality, but you've obviously never seen a cow before, right?

He looks like a goat mixed with a llama.

i love this pic, i just think the minotaur wouldnt just stand like nothing is happening though hed be in a offensive position or be just outright attacking the elf or something, the whole picture reminds me of an old breathe of fire game.

the minotaur is too stiff, especially compared to the elf's action pose, I guess you were going for that 'massive presence' kind of stance, but the top-down view works against that

still . . . dead elf

vaarok: hehehe yea.. i have to get a bull reference next time.. :)

michieru:thanks.. yea.. the minotaur... i'll make it more in action for that.... thx..

grey: hmm.. the angle...hmm maybe if it's a bottom-top angle shot... maybe the scene will be stronger... hmm good point there.... i'll try that... thanks..ouuu dead elf.. hehehhee *grin*

umm.. some crits about the color, maybe? i just started to color my works thesedays... so i need as many input as i can get.. :) thanks.. a bit dumb in choosing color etc.. :(
