Okay got a render with the Wing and Heavyarms in the back. But I don't think I'm gonna keep them in for the MArch challenge pic. I'll probably do a scene later with all of them kickin some butt! But let me know what your oppinions are! Later!

I like the close cropped renders a lot, they bring him into focus more. The ash and sparks one is really nice.

I love the pose!

The way he's looking casually to one side is as if he sees one more human running like the wind and is considering whether or not to step on him.

Great job!

maybe with less sparks. like only 20% of the amount you had. and some smoke also. I do agree with the one post though I think the tighter framing on the sides of him is nice. its a traid off though it cuts out some of the back ground witch also looks very good.
BTW if you have time to play a little how about some billowing smoke going up and to the left. just a little of it. and black.

I'm really inpressed with your shading. Its like a super cartoon look. not so realistic its sorta boring. but High art cartoon with a lot of atmisphear.. know what I meen ?
