The picture isnt coming up... just getting that good old "peice of paper with a triangle, circle and square on it with a crack down the middle". ^_^;;

The picture isn't displaying for me. It has the little white box with a red X through it.

Looks great. I am very fond of your art style. ^_^

Keep it up.

Wow, very cool! The only thing I don't like is the lens flare on the sword (it is very distracting). Other than that, great!

Holy crap. That is fucking awesome. But I agree with Aeth, the sword flares do distract the eyes quite a bit. Other than that very very minimal detail, it is utterly fantastic.

It's okay, some things stand out funny though.

The dudes on the lefts head is squashed.
Fabric doesnt fold into the crotch.
The faces look wierd to me but I guess its 'anime' or whatever the hell.
Theres sort of a light source (from the right??) But is off in a few places.
The guy in the back looks like his stomach is tiny(Mostly judging from the lower leg armor)
The lens flare is so...digital...and everything else is drawn.
The dudes hair is green. I've never known anyone with naturally green hair and the way there's two of them suggests that its natural. That is bothering the hell out of me.

Its cool though.

Sorry, but after that load of crap I may have to rant for a second.

I hate it when people give bad critique to a peice or art somebody worked to hard on, belittling the artist and bringing their motivation to keep working down. Not only that, but this paticular peice is damn good for an unproffesional artist.

SunsOfFlame, if people like you could keep your negative criticisms to yourselves, I bet there would be a lot more finished games in the OHR community. Thats what I think anyway.

Most of that is just constructive critisism. It doesn't help the artist if everyone just says "wow that's amazing." Yeah, it is really good, but any art can be improved, nothing is perfect.

SunsOfFlame, wierd coloured hair is very common in anime (which is definetely the style of this picture). http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail57.html is an very informative video on anime.

Anyway, excellent job Adrian! Do you have any more recent art we can look at?

..oh and MCW,it's a very rare time for you not to criticize my work..but thanks man.
