Hey once again Mr. Tinusch. It is a nice image, altough I would change a few things to make it better, in my opinion anyways.
First off I think you could do more with the lineweight, or lose some of them. The guys nose for example distracts me very much simply because it features a quite prominent line all around it. Also the guys outline looks a bit bumpy in some areas, which makes it seem less securely drawn. Personally I�d change the composition a bit too, add some empty space at the bottom and make the image either higher and more slim, or wider, depending on what feel you want to get. The quadratic thing just doesn�t do it for me somehow. Last thing would be the mountains in the back, wouldn�t they be more bluish like the sky, as things usually meld into the background color with increasing distance?
I hope I didn�t give too much of my picky crits, just think it could be more powerful with those changes. |

Hey thanks for the crits guys. Pete, glad you like it man. Glittahh thanks for the awesome crit, definitely some good points. The linework would be a major hassle to redo, so I'm just leaving that as is. The mountains are now bluer, though, and I extended the bottom of the image a little more. Looks better I think. |

Mountains are definitely improved, so is the composition.
I just cut off a small part to the left so the ice cutout and the characters are a bit more centered. To me it goes a lot easier on the eyes, but I tend to like certain compositions. Also I removed that line at the nose that distracted me so much. Hope you don�t mind, just felt like doing those little changes and see for myself it they actually do anything good.
