Latley I have had the urge to start playing around with oil painting again, its been awhile so I figured it would be good idea to get some c&c on this one.

I started working on this awhile back for the "Dog's of War" Thunderdome contest. Unfortunatly I didn't have time to finish it then, but I always thought it would be fun to paint. The original sketch is ok but I plan to redraw it because it has all sorts of proportion and perspective problems. I was also thinking of changing the viewing position to looking up or looking down.

Just starting to play with colors to see if anything catches my eye. I planned to make the background look like a blured out, dusty arena. (or something?)

I really want to improve my skills so if there is something I can do better I would be glad to know about it.

the green one seems to catch my eye the most. Has a little more eerie feeling. There's a lot of great examples all over the forums, that can give you direction. It's helping me.
