"Bloody Commoner!"

[The-Traitor-Mcdohl]

A pic I finished the other day. Thoughts?

[digitalkarma]

hmmm.. a little bit...... bigger

[e.j.roy]

Yeah! Out of the way peck!

[Seedling]

That's a lot of open mouths!

[asoir]

Haha, was gonna say! Make them expressions, not "Say ahh's"
Otherwise fun piece =]

The weapon arm position of the rider and the flying blood trail combined with the pose of the victim are contradictory.

That is to say the sword stroke described is not really possible(not by a human arm anyway), and because we are reading the piece, (most particularly the pose of the victim and the blood trail. The pose of the rider and his sword arm look very odd. If you changed the pose to match the vitcim I think you'd have a much more dynamic pose and far better peice overall.

The first thing that came to mind looking at this was the sound of everyone screaming "AHHHH!" at the end of the old Budweiser 'Wazzzup' commercials. Or even more appropriately http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36NyoChXmiY
The piece has fun stylization to it but the overly distorted facial anatomy kind of hurts it. If you were going for laughter, it works well. For dramatic value, it's not doing so hot.

cool picture only small crit . it looks like he is preparing to swing down but the blood spray and arm position seems odd or the stroke seems unusual . aside from that cool pic.thanks for posting.

[Bammer]

this picture tells me you can draw well, but you happened to make many silly decisions in this picture.

It'd downright comical how all three of them have the same "AHHH" expression. But it's funny in a way that sorta ruins the rest of the picture.

I wish you had finished the house in the background. I wish you had made the sky more skylike (clouds aren't that hard, and all the flat color just makes it look unfinished.) Also, his cape tangents the roof of a building in the background .

The expressions make me smile, but the blood makes me feel guilty for smiling.

[cosmicbeanbag]

ouch! that looks like it kills!

this could really use more bg, some kind of sky or at least a shift in value or hue. also that building could be taken all the way to the bottom of the page, nothing highly detailed but something more than the flat block of color you have there.

damnit now i can't stop laughing because i'm imagining everyone in the pic going "wazuuuuuuuuuuup" :D
so,yeah,what everyone else said. i'd turn the body of the commoner to face the royal elf,because like this,it looks like the royal one just happened to ride by and unanimously (sp?) decided to destroy the other's face.

[Angroc]

hehe... ccan you say "AAAAAHHH!!"?? nono, just joking here. but all those gaping mouths make picture look very funny in a very odd sorta way. I snicker each time I see it:P aside from that, I like it very much;) No special comments tho, to be frank. Sorry about that.

[naomiful]

lol this pic is kinda funny. i do agree in that it is more comical than serious though

[The-Traitor-Mcdohl]

Not to be harsh, but some of you guys seem pretty dim- OF COURSE IT'S A JOKE! Read the title; it's a pun for christ's sake.

[dogfood]

I think, as opposed to a dozen people being dim, it's more likely that this is not obviously a joke. Look around, most of us have highly developed humoruses [flexes elbow]. But this is also a place where, while loving the ha-ha's, the art is taken seriously.

All the crits are valid and your last post has the air of defensiveness.

Sorry to be harsh.

[Lostsoul060685]

I kindna agree with dogfood.

[Elwell]

I always agree with dogfood.
