You seriously need to move the head closer to his shoulder. It's really distracting.

HAHAHA! thank you, I didn't notice that. lending that ever helpful "fresh pair of eyes". The character is DEAD though, would that make a difference on where his head is now? but best of luck to you if you are entering!

I asked my family and friends to describe the person wielding the axe and they all responded with a big man who is extremely strong so naturally i decided to be a rebel and create the wielder of the axe to be an one armed little girl XD

ps. My idea was that the main character was in a post apocalyptic robot world and that he needs to gather spare parts for his axe in order to keep it ready for battle, sounded pretty cool so just decided to go with it :)
This is really cool idea, at first i was thinking about blacksmith theme too where a warrior goes to a smith to have the axe made. but that was a bit overwhelming for me :D
Thanks! i think you should go for it, its always fun to create more and more challenging pieces ;)
anyway good luck!

okay, i've kinda completely changed my idea. Now i went with the beserker/ viking who 's fighting an army of frost skeletons either because he stole the axe and they woke up or because he needs to kill them and the axe is the only way how.

I don't know if it's a better story but i like the drawing and setting lot more! :)
Opinions?

Maybe change the angle of the second drawing so that you'll be looking over the girls shoulder into the book? And then draw a miniature version of the first drawing on the page? and maybe put the main first drawing in a dream bubble? :)

Holy! I had a similar idea to that but it was on a different angle and battling a dragon! im horrible at character poses
