The Red Hunter

It's such a great painting. I love it. If I had to get nit picky I would say that his eyes may not be looking in the same direction. You can't really tell though because of the tatoo. Great work.

Hi Kimov

Firstly I like the finish, its quite polished

Crits,

- the Arrow feathers look a little more like heads of corn? they look too solid and not actually feathery

- Compositionally, its a little flat, there a nicely painted man, and a nicely painted backdrop but what is happening? what is the narrative? and it lacks a little atmosphere IMO

- The colour saturation could come down generally especially the red hair and blue sky, this would allow you to use more saturation in the detail like highlights etc.

It is good though, but these are the things that spring to mind. Hope this helps

I'm in agreement with all of the above. The eye problem is most notable because his right eye is looking at you, whereas the left one is looking up.

I'd like to add that the hair looks like it's melted flesh. The beard looks to be too high as wel. Perhaps it'd be better to define his cheeks a bit more. Then, meke the skin shine through more at the ends, but not in such a soft way like you have now. That gives it that melting look. Sharper, more abrupt and with more definition.

Finally, there are some perspective issues witht the armor, which is most notable due to the light ornaments that don't flow really well.

Keep it up! I think you have a nice character here.
