Dude, I bow before your skills. That is extemely well made, and i am envious. Im curious as to what you use though. But as far as critiques go, I really have none. It looks awesome and I cant wait to see the end product. Keep up the bad ass artwork ^^

May I ask, how long did this tower alone take you, total - and how long do you usually work on it in one sitting?

It looks like a fully textured 3d model.

(by the way, I meant it looked 3d in the sense of its crisp edges - not in the sense that it looked undetailed.)

Ahhh, ok. It's definitely professional-quality work, as are most of the other things in your gallery

You're caring so much for the details, you better let us see a HighQuality full version of the final image, besides the usual one you could upload here.... *highfives* I hope you'll make prints of the final version, because to be able to see all the "Work In Progress" piccies is making me feel like if I were involved in the project in some way, and I can't wait to see how it looks like so far.... specially after the remaining 90% ^___^

hightquality full version huh! it is so damn big, the entire alphaleo is not even enought to be view in full size on your screen, i had to crop it down to 10% so that it can be view overolly, big huh? the APU itself already 86MB on it's phtoshop file.

Well, but.... do you know something? It would be AWESOME to be able to see that Photoshop File... do you know why? Because, well, if I were able to see how do you handle layers, how do you use them to add details, tones, shades, and so on, it would be like an amazing tutorial about computer coloring.... it's a pity it's too big it would be a pain for you to send me it by e-mail or something like that..... *sighs*

Hahaha, well, at least, we can enjoy the shrinked version! ^^

Yep, I'm sure the final result will be gorgeous!
A little advice though: once you're done with the whole background-"ing" stuff, you should (along with the light effects) make some of the metalic objects shinning, it will increase the gun shooting fire effect. ye know, metal >reflects< light.

Keep up the amazing work, I envy your talent ^___^

Take care!

Argh!!
I just had a day where I came home, feeling TOTALY inadequite in art, and then I see this. It's god in comparissone to my layouts!

Once again, I am left to wonder the depths of your talent.. I cannot get over the texturing and the detial of the metalic frames. They look so bloody real!

It's excellent, though I can't help but worry that too much of a background could make the original character look out of place...

making the background too busy can do some things to it, but the real concern is that if it's too identifiable withthe movie, it will build unintended expectations that could undermine the use of an anthro character...
