I'm pretty new to digital art, and drawing in general. This is the result of me fiddleing around with PSP7 for a few hours here and there whenever I couldn't bring myself to get down to work. Personally, I can see a few symytry issues, even considering that the subject is a bit of a hellish freak, but for some reason, they stand out to me more so now than they did before. I think the coloration process has brought it out more, and that might be why I didn't notice it when I was doing the original lines. I had allowed for a bit of deviation, because I figured it would fit with his half rotting look, but now I'm sorry I did. Anyway, I've never actually put anything I've done on the internet before or even shown anything to anyone in real life (heh, no one really knows I like to draw), so be kind, but critical.

Now to see if this actually works... and yea, it's Freeza

I like it overall...(and yeah i was wondering if it was freeza cuz of the purple thing on the head) but it could use some more work. Now i'm a pretty newbie artist so take my comments with what you will.

Put in some more light on the very left, and the eyes are inconsistant in color and i'm not sure why. I like the fire the most, and the guy is pretty cool. not sure if I like the purple on the head..the colors just don't seem to mix well. Anyway, I would work on making the subject stand out, and this seems to be the biggest issue. Maybe try playing with the light source a little.

Yea, I agree with all of your crits. Originally, this was a more ambitous production, including a dark orbish thing on the left and a light orbish thingy on his right (both fireballs of course), but time started to drag on, and I was eager to do other things, so yes, the composition is now officially sloppy. I just hacked the size down and turned it into a portrait without consideration for a revised lightsource scheme. Additionally, color theory is not something I'm well versed in, so though the purple didn't really stand out to me initially, chances are that you're right on about it and now that I'm forced to think on it a little, some better color combos might have been in order. I'll post my next piece on the Wip section first to get all this stuff cleared out in advance of the final posting on this board.

Thanks for your response.
