I'm thinking the design looks pretty cool. It reminds me of a predator with a mask on. Keep it up.

first glance I mistook the backpack/antenna as part of the city in the background, I guess because the shapes are very similar, emphasized by the three verticals (counting the needle-like point at his neck)...obviously the values (foreground and background) are *very different*, so I don't know why I had to consciously separate the backpack from the city; if you see what I mean (maybe no one will), I'd suggest varying the protrusions on the backpack...also the curvature of the forward edge of his left leg (at right) seems off; I'd bring the part of his leg at the very bottom edge of the picture forward a bit to make a straighter line...

other than those two points, I think it ROCKS

Edit: *ping* [light comes on]; it reminds me of a Traveller character I played; can't recall the race, but his main weapon was a bow, 800-pound pull, and 'skrith' arrows...

Oh: where's his quiver?

Looks good, although I don't like the way it 'fuzzes' out as you move down the picture.
You have a strong focus on the head but it kind of fades as you go down the illo, kind of like you lost interest Smile - I think it's your tonal value, you have strong blacks in the head but nowhere else.
His left hand (the one without the bow) looks a little awkward.
Apart from that it looks cool!

ahhh!! On the first picture I saw it a little bit, and then the second picture confirms it! The skull! I personaly think that the skull is realy corney, it always reminds me of a few certain bad 80's sci fi movies. Other than that pet peeve of mine it's looking realy good. keep it up!

The first glance made me think "LotR fanart". But then I shook my head and looked at it again. If the head would be more orcish-like he would look exactly like the bowman-orc in the end of the first movie.

I don't know what else to say more than that. Real good schitz maybe Smile

Thanks for the comments all. I wont probobly work on this piece any more as it was more of a learning piece, but I'll show you the last version.

Oh and I agree about the skull, it went thru a million revisions and I got tired of it. My new concept work should be much more interesting.


Cheers all and happy New Year!!!!
