[floatingrunner]

bello , mi piace... complimenti :thumbsup:

hehe, I like the "flat" style... never saw that before... hum, wait, oh yes, I remember South Park now :p

But, I think grass and leaf brushes from Photoshop7 are too "recognizable". I mean, the first tought I had while viewing this drawing was: "hey, these are PS7 brushes" :D

Not a big crit, but I think originality is the best way to do good stuff...

[floatingrunner]

darker!! ;P (i think)

i donno.. maybe apply the effect on the whole picture (like a layer or something)

more of an orangy sunset feel.
very typical i guess.. but i think it'll look cool

anyways, think i'll shut up now.

This is true; it looks like one big filter. Sorry.

First Thanks to everyone
I Thought this draw hadn't more to say but now with ur critique i will improve it

loganx3d - Yes i made a mistake thinking It could be artistacally accepted.


floatingrunner - Your words are gold for me. Keep give me suggestion please. Hmmm a new Background. Yes, Maybe.


piGfreeZer - Ok u are right thanks is a great way to improve for me. I don't know how to solve cause I have to make all backgrounds again but i hope to find better solutions

Neo85 - Che dire, grazie mille!! troppo buono e piacere di conoscerti.

I have ahd also a problem
While i was workin i saved (wrongly) a 50% scaled version. I was start with a 2000 x 2000 pixels image
best way to come back in scale without loosing resolution?

Interesting :)

The background color should be changed to dark blue and black, to emphasize the dark night. (just an opinion)

I noticed that he has striped socks (seems unprofessional, just seems a bit weird, just an opionion).

By the way what is he actually doing cutting up leaves? (training)

Overall I think it's very artistic :)

It beautifull, my suggestion would be that, it seems that you have attempted to go for that psudo japanese-style painting.

So for that,

: Remove the tree, or the leaves. If you keep the tree make it more brush-stroke like. The leaves are way to preset.

: Grass looks fine, just more at the bottom.

: For the background I'd use a light grey and white clouds, motion blurred then gaussian blurred to gice a kind of psudo paper feel. Alternatively, use light brown instead of light grey.

It coming along nicely!

Me like. :thumbsup:

Me suggestion: tilt his head back abit. Looks like he is looking at the ground. Even a 'flat samurai' would keep his head up :)

Slicing leaves in half is good practice with a sword. :)

Quack Quack

[Carlocki]

decoy - the head position should rappresent a cerimonial gesture.
need concetration to slice leaves;)


dark_lotus - about Tree and leaves u are right nd about light i have to try
