I understand what you're saying about the pants, but I like the painterly quality of them, and I think the texture is different enough to differentiate them from the texture of the sword. There were dry brush strokes in the original drawing, and I did try that, but preferred it this way.

I absolutely love where you...This is fantastic Jed! I absolutely love where your work is going. This reads extremely well, I'm loving the red background and especially the details in his face. My only small crit would be on the pants. They seem to have a similar texture/value to the sword and appear a bit flat. I think a few dry brush strokes could easily fixe that.<br />Also, I'm not sure if this was intentional, but the way it's cropped it looks like the edge of the top is pushing his head down. It's more apparent when you view the piece from far away , not so much when you click on it.<br />Nitpicking aside, I love it! great work Jed!!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458996725089538642noreply@blogger.com
