Though, initially, I was not particularly fond of the style, I am aware that your initial intent was to experiment with a different approach and I can say that I am impressed with the result. It bears a resemblance to a character straight out of Asian folklore, whether it be a Godlike being or a warlord.

Having examined the piece a bit more thoroughly, I do wish that I'd have rated it at least one point higher than my initial 3-out-of-5, because the image is deceptively remarkable. Overall, I'd have to retract my previous grade and hand it a very deserving 4/5.

Damn; I really need to start inspecting works of art more thoroughly before I rate them. *headdesk* Epicfail on my part, definitely.

While this doesn't scream "Rain" to me, I very much like the style. I do see that it's Rain, by his hair & lightning, but the face is obscure.

Reminds me of an 80's painting.

I like this, it looks artsy. You should do a follow up piece. Zoom out a bit to show him from the waist up, surrounded by a "cage" of lightning.
