Had difficulty with the lightning on this one, had to work a lot on it. A merge of several images, I think it turned out quite good. Better than the last attempt to make armor at least >_<
I love critique ;) Thats what makes me better. Well, I think the armor is a big improvement from the last one, but its still difficult for me to work with armors, and I really want to make more fighters and paladins and blackguards.. :( Relsh, I dont enjoy the sugar coated comments only, but your comment was a little harsh, and its okay, but it just made me in a bad mood. There's always a nice way to tell people that you've seen them do better (like I told ninelives recently), without having to sugar it up to much :) I'll work on the scar if i feel like it ;) Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it ;)

As I mentioned before... the level of finish and polish is low, the lighting is off, and the various filters clash.

I have to agree with Relsh. Generally, your portraits have a higher level of finish and manipulation. Whether he has a scar or a wound on the nose...it really needs a tweak. The armor has a different filter that really clashes with the face. I like the shadows on the face...gives it drama... but the light source clashes with your background. Try working on the face to have everything flow. And don't take a critique the wrong way. ;)
