David is right about using shadows to show the relationship of objects to each other. I decided to have a go at it to give a more complete example of what he was talking about:

whoa! wtf did you do to it!?!? it looks alot better! tell me! this would realy help me
oh and btw, thats not his real head its a mask
because to join the jackels you have to prove your stength by killing a wolf-like creature (which is namless right now), and use its head to make a mask and use its fur and hide to make shin pads (i would do more but i thought thins up when i was almost finished) then use the scales on its tail to make some sort of trophey

I guess he used a pen-like input device on a tablet and has lotsa skillz.

Yes, that picture is far superior.

And as rudel_ic was saying, liking something for the right reasons (e.g. you appreciate how it was really carried out and created) is okay, but liking something for the wrong reasons (e.g. bias) is not okay.

One simple thing that no-one has noticed yet...
Why does he have no feet?

v-nix · Post by **v-nix** » Thu May 17, 2007 2:52 pm

i was gonna say somthing about that but nobody noticed so i didnt
i couldnt make the feet match up with everything else e.g. size and angle
so i didnt do them it looked better without them

It would probably help just to sketch in the outline of the feet, just to help show where the ground plane is. I hope this suggestion doesn't offend anybody too much...
