Man oh man... You've got so much talent, that pic is so good on it's own... Why the filters? Katana, man... Those filters are killing the pic.

Please repost this image without the cloud background or the pink lensflares - and a little bigger too. Looks like a real nice bita work that you've screwed up with filters.

i dunno. i dug the cloud filter...

maybe if you overlayed an aerial view of a city underneath him... give him a sense of extreme altitude.

I know this a comic-style-character
but IMO his hands are just too
big and his stomach is just too thin
I know that you can play around with propotions and so on
but in this case it doesn't work for me
that good

I think a character should look ''right''
and it doesn't matter how strong you abstract
it

hope you understand what I mean
well at least that were my two cents/pfennig

I like it. The messy proportions take the humanoid feel away a bit and make i look.....inhuman. Yay!

thanks everyone for your comments. personally I like the "filter" version better but that might be because I have an unhealthy . . . fetish? for filters. (it's just another tool on the belt, right? Right?. . . maybe not.) I chose to do the proportions this way because he is in fact inhuman but nevertheless I don't really like the hands specifically his right hand. Maybe I'll go back and fix that when I'm more grown up.

I agree, not only do the lens flares stand out as horrible, evil, icky photoshop lens flares, they really divert your attention from the important part of the picture - the dude. I DO like the clouds, though. They do a good job of balancing out the picture. But they get too white too quickly at the bottom. Once again, a problem with dragging the viewer's eye where it shouldn't be.

Very nice silhouette.

I would NOT put the clouds back in, but I like that structure he's standing on, even if it seems like an afterthought.

Not a bad start.

I really like this character design, Katana. It's a simple but cool looking pose. good job.
