dark, mysterious, enchanting, alluring but id love to see it under a brigter light to bring out its true character and salubriousness

Fantastic. I love the thin distortion of the sword holding character. Nice details on the mech. The arch and pilars really create a sence of depth and hold in the composition.I also like your colour scheme. I agree with ladybug in that you might want to add a few highlights. I still like your dark atmosphere though.

(salubriousness?? I thought I knew english. I looked it up and I still don't understand it says: "promoting health or welfare; healthful" how does that relate to his art?)

Thanks PixHort

You are right ladybug- I'll play with the curves in photoshop and see if that helps.

Hunter I'm glad the stylization of the figure is working. I decided to keep this painting as loose and black as possible.

heh heh...Salubriousness?!- I thought that was a misspelling... well I guess I will take it as a compliment.

I really like it- especially the doll. All it needs is a little contrast and some curves. Send this one as a mailer.
