It looks like an old painting. I quite like it.
The crit is that you should make the mountains in the back a little brighter so they would look more far away. -------------

The figure itself is pretty monotonous and crowded in places. I'm not sure what exactly it's supposed to be, it is a robot? Is it a caveman? He appears to have on clothing, but it's the same color as his skin. It looks like he has sleeves and pants (with a loincloth over it...) because of the harsh lines seperating the feet and hands from their legs and arms. About the hills and making them more distant, I'd say add the blues in the sky in there. The farther something is, the bluer it appears because our atmostphere is blue and the more distance between you and the object means the more atmosphere there is between you and said object. I made a quick edit on the hills http://members.johnholdun.com/blick/pixel/edit/edit_born2die.gif - here. A few other things I notice is that the birds get cluttered, I'd say get rid of the middle one and remove most of their anti-aliasing, it's really ot smoothing them out much at all currently. Same thing about the anti-aliasing on the outside of the man, it's not helping all that much in most places (especially where it's making a faint attempt at smoothing his outline to the sky). ------------- http://punaji.com/">

I really liked the first few steps, with the characters lines. I think once you coloured it and took away some details (such as the hair) he looks more (as Blick notes) like a robot. This is probably due to the shinyness of the skin and the highly contrasted separation of the body parts. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">
