Don't listen to this yahoo...You have talent, just make the images smaller so the it fits on the screen when uploaded, and try to make your lines cleaner, but I can see you'll be making really great stuff for us to see.

I agree with galactron22 - sometimes you just get stupid comments from people with a too high level of ego - don't listen. Aside from that there are some people around that are clever enough to actually use the scroll bar of their browser. I see a lot of potential in this image. Beautiful face and eyes!

So , I have to agree that this pic is way too big, cuasing the lines to look too jagged and your colors too pixelated. Now apart from the size, the background should continue past that strand of hair (you probubly forgot to select that area). The background looks really cool though. As for the blood, the sponge brush effect looks cool and works well on the clothing but not on the blades or the armor. Consider the texture. The blood would run in streamlets down to the tip of the swords and drip off, as it is now it looks like the blood has soaked into the surface, that works for clothing but not metal. Now for the hair. It looks realy flat, the highlites need to have color. Blue or even a cool grey building to white. For the skin, you still need to use more contrasting colors for you shadow and highlites. Also try not to use white to highlite with. White cuases it to look kinda bland and doesn't cuase for a 3-d effect. All the white spots you have should be a color, warm and cool greys work well for this. Having all that white on there (on the hilt, the arms and hair) reminds the veiwer that it's a drawing. The eyes would pop out more if you had some darker blues to contrast the white. For the gold on the sword you should be using a bight yellow and a reddish orange. A lot of the shading and highlites need to be moving along the color spectrum (red to orange, blue to green) instead of adding white or making the color more saturated (shadows should be less saturated). The clothing turned out really good, I can tell you spent some time considering where to put your shadows. Hope these tips help. Sorry I wrote sucha long paragraph here. Keep posting.

Sweet thanks for the comments!. Very very helpful. One big thing I did learn was to not post while almost falling asleep. Which results in huge pictures and missed sections of background. Again thanks for the comments and I promise next one will be smaller. No tricky scroll bar thing :)
