Artist's Comments

Stranglehold of fame is both tight and perilous. Nice old school rock tune to from Ted Nugent. This started out as a practice sketch and kinda blew up to be a color practice session too. Took me a whopping 5 hours to color. I dont know where i could be wrong in this piece, i'll leave it to the crits out there. As usual, i'll be taking critique but won't change anything. I'll try better next time.

The dude's name is Miyamoto Bennosuke, protagonist of our story being published in July. Check out our gallery to see Koden's first issue.

that's one awefully thin leg he has there :iconwthplz: .... and err ... your pencil work is great, your coloring skill is great ... but both just doesnt match for some unknown reason =.=llll
:iconcocowoushi:
While the picture and pose is very dynamic, I'm having a hard time trying to distinguish where his other leg is. I think this is partly because of the colors used, how some of the cloth and his skin are very similar tones.

Apart for that, I think it's great picture.

The graduated shading of the sunset and flying leaves really gives the image a forceful impact. The pose and cloth folds are very fluid, well done. Perhaps being a tiny bit bolder with highlights on the samurai on light-touched areas (and the sword - make that glare shine)could give this great picture added omph.
:iconhold-on-kid:
That's really great I love the dramatic colours and highlights and the epic feel it has, but his anatomy doesn't make sense? Or am I missing something?

Anyway, I love it nonetheless. Faved.

too lazy to crit, but the only the i saw right away, there wasnt a lot of color contrast on his body...like some highlights on his left hand side would be nice, starting from the elbow and going down.

The sun isnt a Direct light, like a light bulb, its pretty ambient since you have to think its shining on the world.

I really love how you did the grass. Add a very beatiful touch to the picture <3
