Oooh, very nice. One of your most detailed pieces that I've seen. You're definitely improving at a rapid pace.

The armor styling is somewhat mixed, though the theme seems to be overall Japanese; I'm not really enarmored of the mixed styling myself.

Also, completely random question, probably stupid too, but...do you know or know of David Gonterman?

Stupid question, then. He once did a comic called Foxfire himself.

A very, very bad comic. And some bad stories too, and some other stuff. Gonterman is a name to conjure horror stories with in some places.

I say the styling looks overall Japanese because of the addition of daisho (the two swords), and the bow, traditional samurai gear.

I think the sword blade could use some work. Looks flat.

This is indeed awesome. :yes:

The texture on the cloth in particular, and the absense of outlines.

I have invisible pants. They're not as nice as those ones, though.

Your head is bad. The rest is good.

okay, after reading this thread in depth, i only have one question to those who said something about it..

WHAT, extactly, is wrong with the head?
i'm not going all defensive and ****, i'm just horribly curious about people who said they didn't like something, but didn't provide any useful input, if at all.

[Edit] after talking to somebody who actually /did/ provide some input (and some damn useful tips i might add :) ) i'm gonna be remaking the head & face, and making a few touch ups to the armor... i'll resurrect the thread at a possible later date with the updated pic... and it should have pants by that point :p
