hells army

Hi

The thing here is that it doesn't so much look like you took it from an idea (text) so much as you cropped one of his paintings and to some degree copied his style. I hadn't looked at this painting in years (which is, of course, of Hell's army) but as soon as I saw yours it came right back. In your shoes I'd try to take your image much further away from his (different scene, different perspective etc) and put your own style into it. Otherwise it ends up a poor copy and will always be viewed that way.

Hope this helps

yes it is too close i agree. not wanting to plaugurise, but in comparison it does look to similar.

i'll take it further away, though in my mind it didnt quite look so similar.

thanks for the crit.
