What can I say... it's an Elven ranger sneaking around in the woods, wearing a cloak and wielding a glaive-like polearm. I'm not entirely sure if I like this one, but on the other hand, I'm not exactly sure I don't, either.

Oh, thats cool.

He looks almost like he's trying to punch a hole through his mantle. That would be too bad, I really like his clothes. I like the tree as well, and the rest of the picture. Though, usually there aren't any stars in front of the moon.

G... g... god. When I tried my Elven ranger, I came up with something that looked more like a wall. *Cough.* ...man. But I have to agree... there's something about this picture that worries me deeply...

I think this is gorgeous. Most of my black and whites suck, but what I love most is the tree. It looks very realistic to me. 2 Good job.

I like this alot, I think the just using black and white makes it stand out alot.

Tosi hieno. Ai kun oppisin piirtämään noin.

Realy cool picture! Yeah!

To me it looks more like he's dancing than sneaking, but that's just me. 2 My main criticism is that the tree, the moon, and the main body of the elf (as opposed to his cloak) are all right of center, with very little on the left apart from trailing bits of branch and cloak. This makes the overall image a bit unbalanced, maybe that was the problem you mentioned? I certainly like it, just something to keep in mind when doing future pictures like this. (PS, there's nothing wrong with the stars in front of the moon, its...uh...magical! Yeah! And it's a stylized moon anyways.2 )

This is a cool picture, and a good position he is in, But one problem you seem to have, I happen to have the same problem, Is the eyes. and it looks awkward a bit, I also have trouble making my subjects pupils look at his query.

Thats a really awsome pic but iy needs shading. don't get me wrong, ite koo, but it needs more.

Really nice! Reminds of a black n' white comic book.
It would be a little hard to "sneak" holding a glaive, though 2
