this is amazing. the strongness in the lips shows the bravery behind the character. I especially love the spatter of red on the character's clothes and hand. The attention to detail is wonderful.

Ooh. I can feel the energy in this piece. It seems as if the archer is seconds away from shooting the arrow again! The fact that his face isn't shown is a wonderful touch. Eyes are the windows to the soul, and the fact that you can't see his makes it seem as if you're one of his victims!

it's not like im a violent person or anything, but you make the blood seem so beautiful, the way its spread all over the picture. but... the left leg is a little out of proportion though, just a little (>< sorry just my point of view, it needs to be a little bigger maybe...?) But overall, its a great piece and im gonna fave it

the reason i like it, is primarily because i can't see his face. it makes the picture even more intriguing and mysterious, especially since one can see his bloody shirt. the overall style works well, color choice is brilliant. I think you could be more consistent with the lines (black strokes) around his body.

THis one is quite imrpesive, i never though of hidding the face of a character to raise expectencies, quite a nice angle.

I love the angle and the crop on this it makes it so dramatic. Great comp and solid tech.

I love how you achieved the movement feeling. Any time I look at it, I have the impression that in any moment the arrow will be ready in the arch.
Love the composition and colours you chosed too. The apaled colours make the blood specially visible.
No doubt a fav

What stands outto me most about this is the powerful composition. Cropping his face out? Brrr...chilling!

That is really awesome. I love the colours and the composition, how the face of the archer is cut off and how the blood is spattered around the picture.
One thing I'd have to critique is the black outlines around the hand. They nicely accentuate how it's closer to the viewer and don't really look bad or anything, but it feels too aprupt to me. I'd suggest making the outline of the arrow the same black and adding a soft transition, as in, drawing a black outline around the forearm that slowly fades as it comes closer to the upper arm.
Still though, this is really nicely done! Definitely a great piece!

Cool piece. I don't think it qualifies as abstract though.
Anyway, nice composition. I like how only part of the face shows. Also, good job with watercolors....I'd never be able to do anything close to that.

Thank you for giving me great advice. I inked one of the drawings I did. It has a comic book flair to it. It's not as good as drawing with pencil, but it's my first time. I haven't really been drawing all that long.

This is great! You did an amazing job! I love it! And I love that it is just from the neck down, more effect and focus on the archer point of view; wonderful! ^^

That's one of my favorite aspects about it, the other was that i didn't do too bad a job on it considering i haven't painted with watercolour in a long ^^

Very misterious that you can't see his face. The colors give it a strange feeling. I like this a lot.
