Ran across this while surfing. The right forearm holding the axe is too long. Looking at where the elbow is, his hand looks like an extension at the end of where the hand should be. But nicely done.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "Mmmm...we all agree on the forearm...somethings definitely wrong with it. I might just have to adjust this picture when I get the time for it, but until then I'm gladly taking any comments I can get on what's wrong with it. Thank you for your thought's on the problem 'Crunch'. "

Oh wow, how could you ever be unsatisfied with this picture? I'm jealous.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "It's quite easy not to like something actually, but like I said, I've had some second thoughts and it's not that bad after all. Especially not after the changes I made. That's what I think anyway. Glad you like it too Richard, thanks! "

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "Thank you. I try to keep my answers on a friendly level and I've noticed that sarcasm is a useful tool. I'm glad it's appreciated! "

I be likin the axe.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "It turned out pretty nifty, I couldn't agree more with you. Don't know how it would work in real life though. Still I'm glad you liked it. "

Axe pretty.
I like pointy things.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "A word of warning Brenna. Beware of sharp objects as they can cause you great harm. Just think of how painful a little splinter can be, then imagine what an ax could do... "

wow, the perfection of everything in this drawing is almost scary. Hugely impressive and the Axe is neeto.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "Once in a blue moon you get something right, so I guess I must have done that with this picture then. Thank you Jonathan! "

The three dimensional nature of the axe especially is what makes this picture great-very nice.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "I didn't succeed in getting any real depth in my pictures before this one, but I have done it a few times over since then. Thanks Andrew! "
