SciFi and Fantasy Art: A cross to bare

This is a representation not of religon but of the weight of feelings upon a persons heart. How much pain from love of hate can cause your head to hang low and your soul to feel heavy. The cross represents that burden on the heart and soul and the man is the man in termoil from all that is happening to him.

It's a good drawing but I don't think it really shows how depressed I think he ought to look. Then again, that's my opinion. I do like it.

It is a good drawing... however for the depression feel you might want to make a dark background or something of that nature (not that i have ever put any backgrounds in my stuff). It is a symbol that most humans associate with depression and saddness

Needs a bigger cross. That thing don't look very heavy upon his heart... this says to me "Man carrying Christmas prop out to his yard nonchalantly".

LoL at above...If he is depressed his head would not be so high.

to the contrary, i thought the cross-bearer here was just bearing his cross in dutiful resignation, sort of ...that is to say, the sadness is more internal; he outwardly bears the cross and forces his head up high, but inwardly he sighs and wonders 'why bother at all?' or whatever. i think a larger cross would be too caricaturized. anyway, i like it.

That's the size cross that could fit a kid (yes they crucified children) not a grown man. I agree with Gail, but I think that it's the eyes that give this effect. Bigger cross, sadder eyes, and you have a perfect piece. And if you want to be really specific, make the beard as ragged as the rest of his hair ( @_- ). I don't mean to be nit-picky, but if I didn't like the piece I wouldn't bother.
