I'm finally back... how long has it been? Five months? Well, I got some new artwork to show. It's the front cover of my new book: "The Crusade of the Bleeding Heart." How do you like it?

Wow! I love your art! So l33t.

The only problem I have is the blue-clad guys face... it just bugs me.

I think the blue clad guy's face is fine, nut the face on the extreme left isnt. The Nose is an odd shape and the shadow under the eyes seems to be wrongly placed.

But apart from that, its pretty decent. I rather like the second character from the right.


Although, I may add, its not something I would see as a book cover, unless its a book for younger readers, since the characters look rather cartoony.

It's the best I can do for MS Paint. Thanks for the compliments.

That muslim dude in green looks like he would rip my ass to pieces in a fight. Let me guess... a Seljuk turk? Nice job.

Names from left to right (to make it easier for you people to comment on them): Krovin (black knight), Kerrick (blue surcoat), Nur (woman) and Murad al'Khefar (Seljuk in green).

Wow, that's very impressive for MS Paint / pixel art work :D. I must say overall it looks good.

Now that I've spent some time looking a little more indepth I think Krovin's face looks a bit odd with the large black shadows, make them just a thick line. Kerrick's shield looks odd since on the left side the bird is cut off where the border must be while on the right side the bird goes right to the edge.

Also, not specifically about the design, but I don't think that will be big enough to fill up a cover of a book -- unless your books gonna be fairly smaller then a regular sized paperback.

Overall very good work.

Oh yes, those "large black shadows" are actually warpaint.
