The cast shadow is a nice touch, but (on a completely unrelated aspect) the hands seem odd:
- Right hand: looks like it has only 3 fingers (possibly because the thumb rests on the middle finger like it would on the index, ie it's not far back enough + the index is not even hinted at)
- Left hand: is kind of claw-like. The pinky starts a bit far away from the rest maybe, and its metacarp seems too long; the index looks like it's dislocated or something like that (or it's some sort of thumb); the thumb also looks very long before the first knucle, too. Thinking about it, I guess that's a problem of the hand's perspective: the fingers are placed like the hand was resting on the hip, but the palm is actually lifted almost perpendicular to it.

he looks so exactly like it should I can't even remember how the original was :(

The 1st one has me thinking that it is probably more dangerous to wear the armor than not to... But Your art is magnificent anyways, so I don't really care :D

haha thank you :D

10/5, beau dynamisme et chouette compo, en plus d'ĂȘtre joli comme toujours!
par contre elle doit avoir froid aux fesses XD

looks awesome! *.*
as for suggestions... maybe a bit more rythm/movement in the snow could help. I was also thinking about some atmospheric depth but it would possibly sacrifice to much detail on the background characters (especially in small res like we have here)

Ishnuala responds:

I totally agree it lack of depth...I did try to do lesser details on background characters..may be not enough? ok i will try again. Thanks a lot!

it also goes along very nicely with your "calling flute" music you just submitted

holy... wow!
nothing to say but that it's amazing!

Utada Hikaru's song is also great, i can see the inspiration.
fantastic work!

clayscence responds:

you are right, I have to change that. thank you so much for your comment :D

epic!
sorry I downed your pic's score: misclicked and "voted 2" =( it should have stayed at 5 for ever

DieterTheuns responds:

Aw, it's fine :)
You left a 5 star review, at least that's something :D

I guess he evolved quite a lot since then... 'tis a good thing, the striped t-shirt didn't look well under a vest XD
since comments should include some constructive criticism, let's go for the hat's shadow on the face: it applies as if the face were round; antique's face being flat, the shadow sould be curved downwards and not upwards (or flat, depending on the light's angle). I guess you had figured that out in the 2 odd years since then (I'll check)

I see what you mean. perspective is good IMO, but the foreground and main character might need a bit more emphasis; but the main issue is the clouds, which appear to be much too consistent, and to rest heavily on the ground: they look more like a mud wall than clouds. they look vertical, when they should be horizontal.
Also, again with the clouds, their shadows feel odd. in all the scene, the light comes from a spot behind the cross-shaped gap, but the cloud's light seems to be coming from somewhere above the scene, and closer to the viewer (in front of the gap). This too makes them look opaque, whereas the thinner parts should be less of an obstacle for the light.
Also, I just noticed that the shadow of the man's left arm make it look like he's got two arms

SimplySurviving responds:

Thanks for the review. I'm terrible at clouds and I've been meaning to work on that I'll try to get on that real soon. Probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to make that cross shape more subtle either, I think if it would have helped the sky look more natural as opposed to doing that "wall of clouds".
