I didn't have much luck in picture post, so I'm hoping I find some help here. [here]

Very interesting style! I think this is awesome, the only thing I can critique is the legs. I'm not sure if the cloth is supposed to be real flowy and big or the legs are just distorted in size. If it's supposed to be flared clothing I'd make them more distinct. I'm no good at painting or drawing though so don't put very much weight in my words. Good job!

Wow. I gotta say, the first thing that popped out to me was the... violence in it. That's not a bad thing.
It just made it really powerful for me. Normally the cliched colors like red and stuff turn me off of a drawing, but you actually seem to know how and where to use them.
As for the leg definition, why not add some shading to specify where exactly the leg is amongst the cloth? Not that it has to be terribly specific, but cloth tends to go in where it's not being supported. Maybe do something like that.
I absolutely love the detailing on the picture, though. It's really very well done. :3

I agree with the other comments in that the legs are just a mass of colour without form or function... accurately rendering the folds in the pants may fix the problem. I found this image that may be of some help.

I find myself relying heavily on the stock resources on dA, especially for clothes. Hope it helps!

Thx guyz! whee I'll see how I can fix the legs at some point.

@ OhMercyMe: Glad the color pleases you. I know it might be a little cliched but I'm glad to hear I actually used it right in someone's eyes. And thx for the suggestions. I never really thought very hard on how the pants go really.


@ Verwildert: Dude thx so much! whee that's a lot of help. I was searching forever for a pic like that but I had a hard time finding them with that exact pose.
