I like the Grendel beastie, I like the coloring and layout... However, I see a flaw in the posing... The guy looks a bit stiff. Seems more like he's ready to salute the creature with his sword rather than slay it. His legs need to be spread and bent at the knees for a more dynamic and flexible posture (so he can dodge and lunge). The shield doesn't seem raised to where it would be useful for a guarded stance. The arm with the sword might need to loosen up a bit too (Seems Grendel could swat it aside easily. If pulled back a bit, that wouldn't be possible and it could be thrusted to skewer the beastie.) If I see this, I wonder what those renaissance-fair / role-play types who practice with medieval arms would say?
