Not Bad. Nice detailing. Although something seems off about the guy pinned to the cross, his elbows too sharp? idk.
Great work though! keep it up surprised

Well...it's ok. You could really work on the character detail and anatomy though. And maybe a background? You don't need scenery or anything...

Thanks for the comments ^^

Jester: I haven't even noticed that until you said something o.o.

Shiny: Gah! Blasted anatomy D=. As for a background, well its suppose to be on a plain while back ground, thats how I imagined it. But, I also had some ideas of adding some dark hills, lightning, and basically alot of chaos. But in this idea, the cross and the guy on it where angled differently and the cross was slightly tilted over.... Gah, screw it. Imma do a quick doddle of that just to see how it would look.

Welcome to the guild.
Its got quite a bit being done for a simple (relatively) cover.
You obviously put a lot of thought in it, and its relatively good.
What you need now, in my opinion, is not thought. Its refinement.

Go over your basics in all areas (not because you're bad at them, but as a refresher and to add little details when possible) and try shading it if possible.
You seem to be a traditional media artist, so I'd try roughing out a similar picture rather than screw up the original with erasing.

hey!! welcome to the guild. if u have any questions just ask.
ur drawing looks pretty good. i give u major props for the hands and feet. as ppl know on here...i constantly avoid drawing hands and feet.
what i have to suggest is that mayb work on where the people are standing. if u look, they arnt standing on the same space. maybe use a ruler as a guide line so u know people are standing and then just erase it wen ur done if u draw a line
ok last thing. i had lots of trouble with this in the begining. try adding more detail to the hair. like idk how to explain it....urm heres one of my pictures:
http://oxellebellxo.deviantart.com/art/lets-start-from-the-begining-110179713
u see there are more individual strands there.
well since its the cover to the story...u realli wanna show detail and then for the rest of the comic u dont have to do as much detaill
well thats it for now
hope that helped biggrin

keep up the good work!! mrgreen

it was really good, the only thing that i found that needed some help was that the guy on cross, his fore arm (or whatever the part after the elbow is) was a little short in comparison to the rest of him, so his hands needed to be sticking out of the sleeves or the sleeves needed to be longer.

Haha, I know what you mean. It's really hard to get the hang of anatomy and stuff.

if hes on a cross his arms shouldnt be at a 90 degree angle let alone an angle at all. They should be straight and follow the path of the cross. Unless you wanted to look like that

Well in the picture he's being held up by straps and the straps arn't on his elbows but before them, so the rest of his arms just dangles. I know what you mean though but his arms arn't pined to the cross. Although I should have did that shouldn't I...

The two people on the sides are rather good. Their proportions are mostly in check, nothing big to correct biggrin the guy on the cross, his arms are too long and his elbows are a bit too pointy. Maybe you could find a reference? References rule xd
