Still working on background. Critiques? I feel like I over did it with the line work…
As for the work of art:
With a fierce yell, he charges forward, gripping the battered axe as blaster fire scorches the air around him. He knows he won’t survive, but with each step, he feels the weight of his fallen friends at his back—this last stand is not for victory, but for vengeance, a final tribute in blood and fire.
The background wasn’t sitting right with me and I think this is better.
I was gonna mention exactly this. Make the background lighter so the character stands out.
Took your advice and others for this revision!
Thank you!
Ditto. Maybe even some red/yellow for contrast, like a fire
Oh that’s a fantastic idea! Would look more like some crap went down too that way. Thank you!

Looks dope!!
Thank you!
I like the colors and the style :D
Thank you!
Love the colors and the perspective on this one! Your style is really unique looking and it has a lot of charm and character to it. I like how the shading is done in a cross-hatchey kind of way while the specular is bolder and more smooth, it’s a contrast which looks nice to me.
My only critique would be the background, being that the buildings farthest from the character maintain the same contrast and saturation as the buildings closer to him. It kind of makes the character blend in with the background a little bit, so next time I’d try adding a screen overlay layer that is a light colour similar to the sky colour to add a kind of haze effect to the far buildings, making it seem like they’re far away compared to the others, giving the piece more depth while also allowing the character to stand out more.
All in all, really good job on this piece! I’ve seen other art from you and you’ve been improving a lot, which is great to see! 😃
Thank you, fantastic advice!!
No problem at all! I’m happy to help a fellow artist out! 😊

The drawing was already great before, but now this looks amazing! The character really stands out from the background, and the haze of the far buildings really helps to work with the awesome perspective!
Thank you! I really like how it turned out. I appreciate your advice!
Very cool! What a great angle! Nice work.
Thank you!
