I really dig this picture, he looks tired, but still motivated. He reminds me of a ghost or a forgotten warrior that fell between the cracks (so to speak). I love the colors. That leg is kind of hard to read, but other than that, I like it.

BTW: are you by any chance a fan of Nightwish?

[ilkka]

thanks for you feedback Chromo48..
yeah..I like Nightwish...their new album is great!

[Wynd]

Very cool. Reminiscent of Christopher Shy's work.

I like it!

The colors are nice and dark, and he looks mysterious...

10 points

ps what medium do you use? and why that kind of colors anyway?

this looks good...the color choice is excellent. however, the highlight on his left bicep is confusing the viewer with his midsection. also it seems that his left shoulder is a bit flat. more please... :)

This is really nice, but those specular highlights are really drawing the eye all over the image where it's not supposed to be. Put your highlights and hard edges where you want to attract the most attention, not in the bland or weak areas.

not bad, i like the overall feel, but the face looks composited on, and it looks like you got a little blur happy, too.

Joo... there is some Giger influence also! This piece is made with Photoshop and Wacom...

the picture looks good but i think you should try giving him more detail but not too mutch. You should also give a little more detail to his hair and also fix his back, there a curve that shouldnt be there... there also his shoulder but its a tiny mistake in the shades witch gives him a flat effect. The legs... i wanna see them! ... oh and the sword, you should try to place it closer to the guy, and give it more details and especialy highlights so that it look sharp and hard... got it !

i would also try shaping the face structure, you have the right highlights but make sure his face doesnt look roundy ;)

anyway ... good work ! hope to see more ! :D

[darkcult]
