Really nice, I like it! good job

the thing I like seeing is actual physical body shapes in art. Too many kids use the whole 100% perfect body, so that when you see this ripped dude, or really toned, big boobed, scantily clad woman, it is all too familiar, size shapes really differentiate the whole body style in illustration. I think a lot of people would rather try to make their character totally perfect, yet in this world, nothing is, so why are we doing these things? lol, this is particularly true when it comes to a lot of submitted fantasy/anime artwork. Long, perfect hair, perfect bodies, and some kind of dumb cutesy animal wrapped around their foot or something. lol. I like lil' fuzzies, but not every time I see Final Fantasy fanart, and what not. anyway, later//

Hmm..well I see your point..

I dont like showing men who are completly ripped, I like scrony, weaker looking characters so that I can show more emphasis on their personallity and inner strenght. That way its more surprising and suspenceful to see the underdog win at a fight.

Also...I really can't tell if you hate this piece or like it....you confuse me...~.~;

I have a wide varrarity of characters with different sizes, looks, ages..ect...if you want, I'll try to get one of them posted up for you.

PS...I don't have dumb cutesy animals in my story...one of the important animal creatures is a frog...and he's not cute at all.

dude, I was meaning in general, not intending for your piece. I did enjoy the piece, yes, and was not insulting in any way. Merely sharing my opinion on how the mass of artists tend to illustrate perfect form, not you, silly doode! heheh
