Haven't worked on it too much, just wanted some opinions before i started shading and AA'ing.  
Too much green anybody?

	looks really good. The only thing I find strange is how the stone brick thing is at an angle to the right, just kinda looks off to me. Also, I think you should have more of the sword sticking out so you can take up more of that space, and look better too.

	yeah, very nice agree with Pownatized, the sword should stick out more... maybe thinner aswell... but thats just my opinion....

	Looks good, but...yes, the sword being thinner and sticking out would look better from a composition standpoint. The greens of the tree can be spread out a lot too. More random rather than a 'ball'.

	Thinned the sword out and brought it out more. New: Old: Edit- I noticed theres some random dot over to the right under the rock on the hill, i fixed that already. Edited by Christopher - 08 March 2007 at 12:53pm

	I'm not sure it's a good idea to display the stone brick from exact side view. I think you should give it a more perspectived angle. I hope this makes sense >.< The trunk is lovely =)

	Fil----You mean more 3-d Iso-metric ish. instead of from a flat side of it? And yeah i wanted the sword to be the main focus but i actually think the tree stands out more then the sword does now. I cant decided if i want to shade it, or just AA it and be done. I sord of like the simplicity of it right now. Edited by Christopher - 08 March 2007 at 4:30pm

	The handle is a mere tit of a hilt. Why does everyone make short swords with stumpy blades ant nothing to hold on to? here is an average sword. Edited by Pixel_Outlaw - 08 March 2007 at 9:27pm

	*Originally posted by Christopher* Fil----You mean more 3-d Iso-metric ish. instead of from a flat side of it? Not especially isometric perpective (why not tough) but perspective, displaying both the side of the stone and it's surface, like if the stone was placed a bit toward the viewer.

	Eh, first off i submitted this and it got rejected. outlaw- i dont really agree with what you're saying, many swords have different hilt lengths alot come from weither its a two hand or a one hand. Like That. Maybe i just dont know what im talking about although id like to think i do. =]
