so this was a pic that i've been meaning to finsh for ages of my carrie taro dieing a hero's death. i gotta say im not happy with it, but if i hadn't finshed it now i never wouldhave done.
This is really good hun, I love the detail in the background, and the soft graphite shading works really well as a contrast with the graphic nature of the piece. I like the "alone" nature of this, like loneliness in death. (Natch, I'm beginning to sound like an emo philosopher )
There are a few things you could add to make it have even more of an impact; there would be a lot more blood, although I realise you might want it to be a little more PG - he would have blood on his back, possibly the corner of his lips and splashed upon the floor/legs - sounds gory but it's quite a big injury! The demarcation between him (especially on the face) and the background isn't amazingly clear, he would stand out a bit more if there was a clearer line Other than that the pose and proportions are done really well - lovely pic!
One thing I don't like so much is that it looks sorta faded in places - not sure if this is the scan's fault or just what, but hmm.
