 Probably the best WG Artwork I've ever done.

Here's the background.

And after I put in the characters, massive difference.
After eight hours, you get this:

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road

When anyone tells me I can't do anything, I'm just not listening any more.

I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is.

 May i ask where you got 'The Legendary Warring Clan' from?

And have you ever thought about blending/smearing the bold colors to make it look that little bit more realistic? I'm imagining it'd take a while.

 Yeah I could do all that, and I could add shadows too, but I deliberately exclude all that to give my art a distinct style. Unmistakeably His Lordship.

"The legendary warring clan" was a title bestowed on us by a few RSC members back in 2006 and I want to use it as our tag line.

 While I understand the reason for blurring the background, it seems a bit much, especially with the volcano.

I always have loved what you do with the characters. I recognize a few from past videos. neko2.gif Regardless, I think you did a great job.

 Lol, posting on a basically dead post...

Anyways, I like it. Good use of aerial perspective in your transition from back to foreground. The only place where this strays is the tree in the upper right that sort of looks as though it was added as an afterthought. Not sure if it was intentionally left as clear as it is, but it seems like something to address and keep in mind for future works.

The figure in white in the left middle ground of the work seems to be disproportioned with the rest of the figures. It's not really a major problem, but if you're going for realism, this becomes incredibly evident with the tree being placed right next to the figure. Looking back, the perspective on the mid-ground in general seems to be struggling back and forth for an identity.

Despite that, the proportions for the foreground and background are great. Good forms and solid chiaroscuro that lends itself well to this style. I'm going to go ahead and disagree with some others on your choice of a crisp font for the text. I personally feel that it contrasts nicely with the rest of the work in a way that, combined with the orthogonals of the foreground figures' arms, draws the viewers eye around the entire piece.

Summary: For the most part, I liked it. It'll be interesting to see how you continue developing your style.
