Description
I feel bad for uploading this... Its not as refined as it should be. But well... Guess it can't be helped - doubt I'll be working on it. Concept itself is not that great either - so generic it hurts.Time taken: 46 min
Software: Photoshop

Can I offer up a bit of advice? I totally understand your feelings about the piece (it happens to all of us) but by writing them as comments below the image you fill many of your viewers with these same thoughts. No one arrives at the page to view your image with these thoughts, so let them come and make of it what they will. No sense in souring someone's view of the piece with your own frustrations. Take that frustration and apply it to your next piece instead, pushing yourself harder.
I quite like the piece myself; the looseness of it allows the imagination to fill in the gaps.

hmmm, thanks for tip. Honestly I was treating dA more like artist community thingy where everyone knows stuff and can spot bad piece instantly. And give critique about it Not like showcase place. I will keep that in mind.

Yeah, that's a good point, about it being an artist's community, but no need to sway other artist's thoughts either. If you're looking for a critique you'll get much more interesting results if you leave the other artist's minds to see whatever they see. Guiding them with your own thoughts and/or admissions will just get them locked onto the same ideas. Besides, it's okay that you're disappointed with what you've done. Most all of us hate our own work, so you're in good company. If you're going to take the time to put it out there, no need to sprinkle it with any negativity, regardless of the audience. Know what I mean?

yeah, as I said before - I do understand your point and I agree with it. On the other hand I can be very proud of some of my pieces. For example this ( [link] ) even though I know it has some issues I really really like it and I'm proud of it

For the sense of story in this is spot out of these entries, the mysterious figures looming in the background, why are they here etc adds depth to the concept. I'd agree with GDS, I would have add some more detail to the main figure just to help reinforce the sense of scale. Well done though great job

I like the scale in this piece and I kind of have the same story going on with my entry.
The only thing I would say is the atmospheric effects are taking over this piece and it
does look like a rush job.
Nothing wrong with doing a quick piece but if you're going to do a piece like this then
use your time wisely and spend more time on the elements closer to the camera.
That will give the illusion of detail in a piece.
Best of luck with your entry and keep participating to improve.
There will be 3 polls in this round and winner will be chosen from the last poll.
