If I possessed no taste, I'd probably get more enjoyment out of the whole piece. Yes, the blood on Drahmin and his compatriots looks cool at a brief glance, but a more trained eye would perceive the fact that it just doesn't look like it's on them, more a flat red blotch floating on the picture. Shadows on the oni positioned behind Scorpion would have given the picture a hint of realism. It's fairly easy if you know how to use a tool that darkens--and you can make a relatively respectably guess at whether or not the shadows are positioned correctly.
Now, Moloch just doesn't belong in that picture--at least, not that render. For the reason that it is so freakin' dark in comparison to the other pair. Also, if you have such a broad range of talent, and I'm not even going to claim that I even think you possess a smidgeon of talent, why couldn't you spot such diminutive areas of fault? Just doesn't pan out, if you ask me.
Overall, this piece is fairly clean, but I couldn't be paid to slap a steaming pile of shit on my desktop. Have a nice day.
Oh, and was Drahmin playing with his chick's lipstick before he was photographed? Sure as Hell appears to be the case...
See, people? Now that's the way to critique. Not once did he compare the original post with his own talents, and he flat out said what he didn't like. A perfect post in my opinion.
About the background, its fne I suppose, but the lines around where the characters were cut seem too sharp, and, as VenoMark pointed out, Moloch doesn't belong there. I love the blood and the writing on the wall though, so that brings this up to a 6.5/10.
We've got chicken tonight. Strangest damn things. They're man made.
