verr nice

It might be interesting, although less dynamically lit, if you had less line work on the upper body to describe all of the musculature and used a frontal light source and had some simple blocks of shadow to describe the form.

You know, I love Darwin's method for addapting to defeat the Hulk: The only way to defeat the Hulk is to completely avoid him!

Very well done! I'm no expert, but I believe it's in a good place between simplicity and realism!

Very well done, as usual.

Such is the animator's mentality, ever striving to strip detail away, and establish ideas in their simplest, most distilled form. I do admire that, having worked alongside animators for a long time. But I'm more of an advocate of balance, and I appreciate marvelous complexity as well as wondrous simplicity. Aesthetics, as the just, wise parent, does not favor one child over another. Although professional demands may necessitate a bit of alacrity, detail retains its coveted appeal.

I will never commit the whole or half of my effort and talent to exclusively illustrating in either extreme, since I feel it's like sticking to one area of the playground. And I also relish the possibilities of blending the two opposites, allowing them to perfectly complement each other. A simplistically rendered character can work well over a complex background, and vice versa.

The key for me is versatility, and I like to let the project itself dictate which perspective is ideally suitable or effective.
