suggestions:
1) eagle smaller maybe better
2) add a sparkle on the blade

nice...

Thank you for suggestion my dear friend, I have updated my entry!

The bird and the pumpkins are too dark for the very bright lighting of the image. The bird should show some back lighting glow, and the pumpkins should have some light on the top, not just be black shapes with eyes. Also, if the ground is so illuminated, why is the back and the ground behind the woman so dark? She is not under the edge of a tree or building, and the light appears to extend at least to the trees in the far background, so having everything turn "instantly" dark when it reaches her is a bit far-fetched, rather than "moody."

Hi MossyB,

Thank you for correcting me in my mistakes, I have updated my entry please let me know if it still need improvement.

Once again thank you my dear friend.

A step-by-step would have been nice

Love the spooky blue and the evil smiles of the pumpkins

Great concept! Maybe you could add some blood on her suit to make it look like it was a though fight, good luck ^^

You go girl! Kill ´em! Nice, very nice!

Thank you Akassa, you're right, blood added!!!
Thank you too, Sunzet!

yes i think it is much better with the blood on her..nice overall mood author..and good job with the rain effect..GL

Cool!!! Thank you Chis!!!

Well done!

hehehe.. (I would get rid of the two white paper sheets behind the warrior.. just burn them or clone them out, or turn them into papyrus or something .. they just don't fit the awesome mood you created.. but that could be me.. GREAT JOB!!

(they center him great, but they look to modern to me )

(YES.. the paper is gone and the image is fantastic now.. GOOD LUCK)

Thanks Drivenslush, I have removed 2 white paper sheet from background.

great job... but the picture let me expect something in the pit.

suggest add a little hint of a creature in the pit to complete the whole story

Thanks aheman for suggestion. He is expecting something. Suspense

Dramatic, but I don't get what "mouse hunter" is. The graphic unexpectedly emphasizes the mouse and not the hunter, plus the word 'mouse' is in a bigger font size than 'hunter.' And what's the point of the glowing ball off the end of the mouse's tail?

I love your inquisitive comment DanLundberg... I may not be able to satisfy you with any answer but thanks for dropping by...

This is one of my favorites. My thought is "exterminator" ... but who knows. LOL My only issue with it at all, and this is nit-picking, but I might have raised the contrast slightly and/or lightened it slightly.... not much, but just enough for that extra impact..... just my taste. Still, it is NICELY done!

very nice!....maybe a litle bit much more details would look better,,,,

Lots of fun

Nicely done! Love the perspective on the blade, the only thing is maybe the blood could be a bit darker. The rest is great, nice work on the draping pieces over the chest and leg, cool pieces at the ankles and belt.

Good imagination, author!

Top entry! GL, author!

Very cool! Well done!

GREAT !!! But You lost me with arms.. look like they aren' t made of equal number of segments. And I think that details are outstanding

Creative use of source and great details. The chest area looks a bit warped...but that doesn't bother me. Really nice work!

Astonishing ... what a wonderful creation. Truly fantastic!!! Love the way you have such a sense of menace to the whole piece! Definate fav and HIGH points!!!!

Wow, great imagination on this!
I do have to agree though about the arms: it looks like your left arm (right as we view it) is either lacking the biceps area or if the angle is such that it is bent to where we can't see it, then it would also cover up the lower part of his deltoid (bottom part of the shoulder).
I think you have a winner here either way but it would outstanding if you could correct that somehow?
GL!

Wow, totally impressed, looks like this took quite some time to make. The detail is amazing, and so dramatic, really good art work here = )

Thanks for the nice comments... and many thanks for pearlie, daredevil and silversurfer.., i darkened the blood.., missed the biceps area in a hurry but now updated it according to the suggestions. Hope it looks beter.., i appreciate the critiques. really enjoyed it.
