Good work but not as good as your other stuff
I gave you an 8 because I love your work, but this piece just does not have the spark that your other pieces have.
You need to do more with the actual piece, not just have the character facing forwards.
Also what tools do you use in most of your art?
P.S the staff style was actually started by someone else
