The orcs expression should be one of pain, not looking down confused, but you are an amazing artist!

I hate to be an art critic...but what kind of crap is this. I come to this website looking for quality art an I am constantly let down by garbage that looks like it should be in Highlights or some crapy little kids magazine. I demand ART. Pump up your game kid.

I like the picture, since you asked for suggestions you might want to take a look at the orcs hand, when someone get a sword in his waste you make a fist of your hand, its a reflex. Maybe not a fist but you don't open your hand in such position. If you attack someone you probable make a fist to out of anger or just to enforce your grip.. any who's I LOVE IT !

god i hate people who can't see that this is just a great picture! i mean the expression on his face is perfect and i also like his glowing sword. Maybe you should have done a little bit of blood on his sword but it doesn't matter

great great! however to make the picture more impressing the orcs could have been taller and not on a stair way, but the glowing sword is genius.Also you need Bad guys not orcs im talkin DEMONS Muscled red dudes with BLACK swords! just an idea.

its a great picture.the only thing i see wrong with it is the position of the orc.the way i see it, as the orc is charging down the stairs, the only thing to stop him in his tracks is the hilt of the sword in his chest.i think that would balance out everything nicely.

I dont mean to be rude because I think most of your work is just amazing but I find this picture flat and comic book looking but it is still good work just not my taste.

They’re green... how stereotypical.

the angle of the knight’s arm is a little odd... other that that it is awesome!
