I think Cyrus is an air mage.
So, I really dig tricked-out, actiony, perspective shots. I wanted to do one, so I made Cyrus run up a wall while being shot at. I was trying a whole bunch of new things this time while trying to illustrate exactly where in the scene it's been "paused." Just as he's about to turn and sprint back down the wall and do some kick-ass finishing move. Inspiration for the image: Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender. Like the best anime-styled American cartoon ever. References Used: -screenshot from Avatar: the Last Airbender for the background perspective -stock texture for the wall -3D arrow renders by a friend from SCA, for accurate perspective -other various pictures of deserts and dusty scenes. Things that gave me a hard time: -background -dust -arrows -motion/gaussian blur -my computer's slow processor and lack of RAM (this file was a monster-- save time capped at 3 minutes) Overall, I like how it turned out. And it only took three days of obsessive Photoshop work to complete it. Cyrus is thinking, "HOLY SHIT THAT ONE ALMOST TOOK MY NOSE OFF." |

Why be sad when you can choose to be happy?

You did an awesome job with the perspective, and with the blurring of things out of focus especially. The arrows too close to the "camera" to be in focus are really well done.
There's an awkwardness to his far arm, though. I think with the way his body is turned, you probably wouldn't be able to see that much of his elbow, if at all. There's also a bit of his near hand that looks off, too; I think it's the part leading up to his first finger. It seems like it juts out just a little too far. Actually I think it'd be the whole part there from his thumb up to there, it comes out too far, it should be closer to the other side of his hand (the part nearer the top of the picture). AM I BEING CLEAR AT ALL? I DON'T KNOW.
Those are the only problems that catch my eye with it, though. I love his face, very dynamic, and you can TOTALLY tell that's exactly what he's thinking. The musculature on his near arm and the foreshortening of EVERYTHING and the general dynamics of the pose were all pulled off very well.

May the yellow always stick to your chin, and remember fallen leaves smell like cinnamon.
And I love the bottom of his shoe. Like way more than I should.
