Maybe you could have shown more, I know you're trying to go for a simplified look but showing too little makes it seem flat which has kinda been done here. you could have also made either the face or the knife have more focus drawn to it because the picture looks to have two separate focus points which could make it look boring(Nothing is truly drawing your attention to it because the "focus" almost takes up the whole page). As you said in the description too that you've been reading a lot of Berserk IF, and I'm not saying you are but if you are going for Kentaro Miura's style you would have done the complete opposite of what he does. I don't think (like I said earlier) you're going for his style but Kentaro Miura pretty much tells his entire stories through detail. He is legendary when it comes to visuals, he's one of my favorite artists. None the less, you have shown that you have a genuine grasp of motion and you did a really good job showing his expression( I like it a lot by the way). So AWSOME JOB! and KEEP GETTING BETTER! :P * I saw your Deathink submission, now THAT... That was really cool and expressive!
