Gray Fox Piece

I wanted to show Fox's torment and loneliness, so I used this image which I found very fitting. The grungy edges and lines across the page, coupled with the lines around Fox symbolise his tormentuous captivity, he is a prisoner, as he calls himself 'An undying shadow in a world of lights', so here it is, feel free to comment and criticise, tell me what I could change for the next one I create.

Raiden... Five years ago... That's not what I meant.
I looked at it and I just thought 'needs some red'- for contrast to the grey/white colour scheme, and to symbolise his rage (siezures) and the blood on his hands for killing Naomi's parents. But yeah, nice work.

it's alright,what i think would look great would be some blood on his sword dripping to the floor but in red,i'd also prefer the piece to have jagged egdes and sides,it would seem fitting to me,but it also seems alittle empty,i'd like it to have the city stock you used to also fade around the image alittle like in the top corner,but with alittle less of the gray brushing around it,also i would make the image abit smaller in height to reduce some of the emptyness around the piece alittle :o

MGSF'S DESTINY....IS TO NEVER DESTINY

It's good but I agree that it would look better without a defined edge. Maybe use some grundge brushes to erase the sides or if that's not an option use a border because of the gray brushes you have on the edges. You could put in something to contrast with the white background but that's not really a nesessity if your trying to go for a minimalist approach.

Also, g-fox, why would you use a city vector on the background when it has no bearing on the piece?

I disagree, in my eyes red would ruin the white, lonely colours, a city bears no similarities in any way to Gray Fox or MGS, the height is fine, and I like the emptiness aroudn the piece because it aids the lonely misery Gray Fox goes through.


@OcelotSnake: Yeh I took a minimalistic approach, thought it would aid my themes, and I wanted to do a border, but a simple black line didn't appeal much to me, so I left it to see what you guys thought, I'll experiment a little and post a new copy, see what you think then, cheers.

in the top left corner it looks as if there is a city stock there but some filters and other things are covering it up and whatnot,and i ment to use whatever was in that corner for a few other parts around the piece but faded away and small :o

No, I didn't use any images other than Gray Fox, the rest are brushes and effects.
