I actaully work professionally as a concept artist and 3d character artist. :zombie:

Cool, I assume that's in the gaming industry?
I'm looking at becoming a concept artist too

Yup, I've been working in games for about 15 years now. I wish you good luck in you're efforts . Art is great relaxation and to get paid for it is often a double-edged sword.

wow that's awesome, If i get good grades in a scholarship to Japan, i would study Design and then apply it on Video Games, which is my dream profession along with games programming.

Thanks for the critique Ozzloaf. Much appreciated

So that you know, everything I did with respect to the lighting in the image was intentional and thought out ahead of time. I wanted a strong backlight to contrast the siloquette of the bodies as well as the guys in the band to have what appeared to be a soft single light on each of their faces to give a strange look to the image. I blurred the background to give more emphasis to them.
I still need to calibrate my monitor. I think the reason your seeing the sharp edges are because your monitor is brighter than mine. This image was done in a matter of two hours and I didn't bother to check the image before saving so things like the hard edge may show for some and not for others. Thanks for bringing that up.

I agree the scratches would definitely look nicer if they were sharper. I tried overlaying them on the faces but it took away from them. The idea originally was to make it look like an old photo. I'm still not finish so I may go back and fix that. I'll just create a better scratch texture that is sharper and can work as a complete overlay.

Fix well for Magic The Gathering

hello,
just 2 little critiques:
I think mikael's face looks a little bit "imported" in your art..
just to judge from his hair i would let mikael look a bit to the left side..more or less like in this photo: http://www.emp.de/read_file.php?aid=22556&nr=1&w=400

the second point:
i think mendez misses out a little bit.. his hat shrinks his apperance a bit and he's already standing behind per's shoulder..

that were the things i noticed, but you don't have to take this critique very serious because i have no idea about digital designing etc.

PS: Awesome work dude!

Very nice work monkeypit! Especially like the one in your avatar, can i save it?

Not that I know much about this, but in terms of texture, their faces (with the exception of Mikael's) look quite chiselled, kinda reminded me of Mount Rushmore at first glance.
