i dont know. i just dont like the positioning of the character or the explosion behind him. i just expected something ... better.
i think it is purely the spartans body/pose. it doesnt look natural/suit the helmet damage/face thing.
ima look into it a bit more now but ive been recording so im tired now.
Well, I thoroughly appreciate your honesty in this matter, xianoa. Most critiquing around here comes in the form of "I don't like it" messages. Not particularly helpful... I'm sure you know all too well what I speak of. And it doesn't help that most BNet denizens (not all, mind you) wouldn't know "art" if it slapped them in the face. As such, I find it hard to listen to critiques even when they are presented in a more constructive manner.
My advice to you, to any aspiring artist reading this, is to join an actual off-site art community. You will glean little to nothing of value from The Gallery and those who reside here, unless you merely seek to feed the ego by reveling in the praise given.
