This definitely deserves a higher rating! The guy in back and sword are awesome looking. I also like the smoke you added to the picture, but the background (especially the sky) seems to lack in detail and in turn, looks fake (I can see brush strokes) compared to other portions of a picture. I'm no expert at all, but I believe that all aspects of a picture work together to make it what it is and when one is lacking or suffering, it brings the quality down.
Still, a good picture and I know you will become incredibly awesome at doing art. Also wanted to say thank you for the scout. Though I still wonder why since compared to your art, mine stinks.
