I can't see what the character is standing on very well...but perhaps make a neutral blue highlight on the crag to the left so it doesn't look like the rock ends where his tail ends. Does that make sense?

Also the dark area on the right...is that water? Or just an abyss. If its water a few highlights won't hurt it. If its an abyss use a little more color to make it gradually fade into darkness.

And i'm not really sure what that extremely shiny thing is below his tail.

On the character, I like the mood! But its kind of hard to understand how the scythe stands so freely on its own at that angle. He should either be holding it with one hand, or it should be a little more vertical so it can stand in the dirt by itself.

Overall the pic makes one wonder or mystified and only a handfull of pics i've seen has these qualities.

I can't see what the character is standing on very well... Shamon's supposed to be standing on some wreckage...like a shelled-out building, or some such...as to the bit to the left, that was a sort of afterthought, as I went the entire picture without the "inking" phase....all my pens were dead. I prolly should've gone and re-touched/highlighted things here and there in Photoshop....but well, I have alittle too much pride in what my hands do.

Also the dark area on the right...is that water? Or just an abyss. an abyss, since-darkened after scanning. ^^

And i'm not really sure what that extremely shiny thing is below his tail That's a bit of glass, actually....had I not highlighted it as I did, I figured it'd just look alot like the bits of concrete and re-bar in the BG there.

But its kind of hard to understand how the scythe stands so freely on its own at that angle Well, much like Shamon's boots, it's mostly meant to be left to the imagination....to strip that away, tho, I suppose it could be assumed to be standing in a hole in the bit of wall he's standing on? I just did it like that 'cos it looked cool, really
