This a great poster! The details are fantastic and it looks so dynamic! If anything, I think the words on the bottom might be a little distracting from the piece but I understand why they're down there. ^^

Astounding cover, so dramatic and intriguing, especially Louis's haunting grin. Amazing detail and overall composition, I really enjoy this piece and how each character is interacting, their uniforms and expressioins are wonderfully drawn!

This is soooooo cool! But might I ask, what did you use to color it? Was it a program of some kind, or by hand?
I can't wait to see more of this series! Its really good so far!

Most of my art is drawn traditionally in pencils and colored on Photoshop CS4.

Lovely mate (though the typography needs a bit of work if you don't mind me saying. Bit of a tip: keep the words in a grid.).

The actual drawing, as always, is brilliant! If I saw this at the cinema I'd want to go see it

I wrote a comment on your art for the first time, but I followed you for two years, before I registred on Deviant. You're my favourite Deviator! Your drawing style is unique and I LOVE you're OC, expecially Luis. One day, I hope to become like you ( and I'm hopeless, but I still can dream ) Good work!

I actually really like this, though I can see where you could polish it up in spots for a little more umph.

I like the opposition on both sides, though I think you should have continued the bg of the church behind the Spaniard. I'd also not cloud up the faces like you did with Louis and James (? The one on the bottom left). I get you're aiming for a bit of a devilish in the shadows smirk, but with the brightness of the rest of the poster and how flamboyant the rest of Louis is, it feels a bit like a disservice not being able to see the rest of his face. If this had a more mysterious air, it could work, but I just feel like your unnecessarily subtracting character from the protagonist.

I would also adjust the Ensign's pose. It's not bad, but it just doesn't quite 'fit' in a way. IDK I think it's the raised arm.

There was a lot more of the church, but unfortunately then Louis would no longer be in the middle, bad compositions on my part. The soldier in red is just an NPC and they never have eyes, sort of like the standard soldiers in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame that all have the same uniform and helmet to avoid having to worry about individual faces, but I can see how it would be confusing with Louis's shadowed face.

Eh, you said this was a quickie and it's a good teaser. Just stuff to keep in mind for next time.
