Impact

Looking at the angle and strength of the ball of light, the far side of the face and cloak are underlit, and the side of the face that is away from the light is overlit. I feel this image requires a much higher level of contrast from such a powerful light source.

The body angle and and balance of the body against the light is wonderful - quite unusual, and seeks the viewer's attention - where is he going, what does he see?

As an experimental piece, it is quite haunting and mysterious, but I believe a little more work will have a masterful piece that has the drama required to bring it to life.

Great work!

Beau

Hi, I like it, I can't say that it is wrong in any way. It is pleaseing to my eye and reminds me of the original artwork for Castlevania. I love the green hue to the picture, which normally I would shy away from.. It's great especially the hair , if one critisism it would be that the picture is too large to view on a computer screen.. But hey you can save it and resize it.. :-D

In spite of the semi-angelic face and elaborate necklace, he looks like a wraith to me. I guess my primary evidence is the way his cloak melts away into the green light in the background. It makes him seem very transient and insubstantial.

You have a talent (if nothing else) for bringing out the little details in a piece by manipulating lighting and shading just a little bit. The necklace and the braided strips in his hair are perfect examples of this: they are only little things, and you might not even notice them with a superficial glance of the piece, but just like in real life, they are there to find, like items in the periphery of our vision. All it takes it a little dot of white and a small blotch of shine to make it twinkle in its metallic nature. The braided portions of hair use little variations in the outline to distinguish themselves, but it is very faint, just as it would appear in real life. These are the kinds of details that a person would always have, but one would only really notice if they were "looking" for them, if that makes any sense. In any event, it is a nice effect. Well done

I love the choice of green... does the guy on the picture represent how you feel?
