good to have ya back hun, and such a very cool scythe design

This is so bad ass....

Now for the official Critique. First off the subject matter is rather clear but at the same time vague enough to where it allows the viewer to formulate their own story or meaning to the image. So job well done on that front. The back ground is amazing and very realistic. You did an amazing job and it really goes to show how much time and effort you placed into this. Next is the foreground, The wolf I will break down into sections as I think it deserves it. The wolf's fur is highly detailed but the way it is done makes it look off somehow, grainy almost. I can tell it was meant to be a representation of the individual fur hairs but that is just how it comes across to me. Next is the clothing that the Wolf is wearing. It is an interesting set and to me, it gives off a feeling of native american with a hint of European medieval armor. The leather looks grainy as well but it works this time and the cloth as well. Finally there is the anatomy and body positions of the wolf. The anatomy looks really great and the only thing I would change is the feet size, make them a bit smaller much like how real world wolf feet are. That and the pinky finger on the left hands looks a little out of place. As a final touch, the weapon goes well with the image Gigi, the wy you captured the metal being heated up is great. Though, a couple things that can be changed is that the way he is holding the weapon and the direction the scythe's head is facing don't match. The head needs to be flipped as the action of the body is dictating he is about to swing it and as the scythe currently is, it will not be nearly as effective. The other thing is the heat sparks that are coming off of the head. They ar following the path for the most part but from the angle of the image and such, it is telling that the character is currently falling towards his prey. This means the sparks should be trailing behind slightly.
