I received a notification (not too friendly) to use the forum for the WIP because i changed some deatails in this work (that i consider almost finished)

then i came here to hear some critics to make it better:

sh*t Son.. You really don't care about size, do you?
This is huge, and looks fantastic so far. Definatly more detail/ texture is needed, but it's quite an eye pleaser. The sword looks pretty bad-ass so far, just I'd lighten the top colour, black stands out too much.

I like it.

More critics please! ^^

(i think this new sword is so much detailed... don't like it at all)

the left side of the cape is a bit to the right, but its a cape, it don't have a fixed position ^^ (and in this intentionaly position i dont have to draw his left leg ^^)

Nice improvements on the sword. I like it a lot. :) Impressive detail for such a large piece.

Anti-aliased outline looks damn messy to me. It's like you've lost your glasses and can't focus on it. Is it only me?

One issue here is that instead of aaing the colors that touch, you're aaing the inside color and white. For the edges, aa from the OUTLINE color to the BG color.

Otherwise, good work and keep updating this thing!

I sent you to the forums because you keep uploading this piece when it seems you keep revising it. As you can see, you've gotten alot more praise and comments on how to improve than you did or would have on the main site.
I think it's a very promising piece and look forward to the final submission

but i ddnt know that i cant re-upload it, im new here, my intention was to receive critics on the site and change it there...

Anyway, i've just changed the external AA color to grey.

but in fact the aa color must be between the 2 colors involved (the line and the bg in this case) and the line follows the object color (the line of the cape is blue, but its hard to notice due to the contrast) thats why i used a blue AA in the cape... but i must admit that the grey fits better =P

I'll wait 24h for more critics, if anyone makes one, ill post it on the PJ

It's by no means perfect, but i thought i should let you know of the jaggedy problem you're getting from the AA and smoothening you're doing. Also, you have quite a few colours that are being left out from use elsewhere, where they really could help (eg. shadow of the fin).

And i agree with Setz.

Nice work though, a big improvement on the earlier one. Keep it up.

[First post :o]
Anyway, I think it is absolutely great ^^
...[whats aa?]
[sorreh for the off topic stuff...

done.

Thats why Png with alpha transparencies exists.

due to the number of times i submited before approval... i ddnt know that i coul'd to that

but i submitted again yesterday, i think it is finished now, the cape problem that setzer told certainly would improve the piece, but i dont think its not a problem, my intention was that the cape was just floating there anyway (and im not familiarized with capes, clothes in general, its better leave this way ^^)

thank you all that helped me to "finish" my best work
