Snaf, please quit making assumptions that are not true, I thank you for the crit, but the problem with your crit is that I used 5 different brushes. Now, seeing as I did this in a monotone color, with no contrast, of ocurse everything blends in, and it my bad for not adding a point of interest. Brush strokes are fine snaf, I saw a guy paint the grand canyon in photorealism with only one brush, and I will work in my own style.
I think his point was that the brushstrokes are too obvious, which I agree with. It's too easy to tell exactly which brush whole areas of that were done with and that really kills it.
rossmum you seem to be focusing on areas of the painting and not taking in the whole scene. Ok the bit middle left from the broken down fall is rather obvious however thats a small part of the painting and should be overlooked.
A painting is a scene, dont ignore that fact.
Yeah, except that the immediate foreground (and I mean ground, literally) is the only part which doesn't scream PS brushstrokes (although to be fair even it isn't all that far from the rest)...
I'm not ignoring any facts, far from it. I can overlook things if the overall result justifies that, but not when the 'things' are the overall result.
Have you ever tried Vignetting for environments?
The items in the backdrop doesnt. The little fence thing doesnt, I have no idea what your talking about saying whole drawing looks like brush strokes.Quote:

Nothing special, just the usual, also I noticed just now the perspective on the belt is borked, will fix when I get some crit on it.

That blade makes no sense, he would stab himself in the head when he lifts his arms up. Not to mention its position on the arm doesn't seem like it would make it a very efficient weapon.
