TRUKENDOOS XL

This is my design for an upcoming international breakdance event in Holland. If I win with this design I'll get free entrance hehehe.

Took me an hour to make with my cintiq and photoshop (-: please critique

Looks awsome... but is it me or do the legs twist in an unnatural way?

I saw the picture and just thought "oooh, painfull". Also, i think the black background is a bit plain. Why not add a street stock or something? Maybe set it to black and white so the colours stand out more.
Besides that i think it is great. Are you keeping the design like a sketch or completing it?

I like it a lot but the arm by his neck looks like his head got cut off xD
IMO
but I hope you win ;]

I tried keeping the picture in the style of the event: www.thenotoriousibe.com

It's true that the black background may be plain, but I like to keep it to a simplicit level. Furthermore, I think breakdance and images of the 'street' is a big cliche so therefor I chose not to do that hehe

It is a bit cliche haha, but i would imagine that most people do it there. It is also more interesting than a gym or whatever :p

decent idea man :) except your linework around the actual figure is wayyyyyy too messy :/ it has to get cleaned up I think, I can see you were going for that look but it's nor working , especially with the font you used :) fix that up and it should be good :)

i think it's great!
very nice piece of art
hope you'll win ;)

the foot is a bit odd, but anws i like the yellow lines there, but yeah its too empty.

I know this would be a pain in the butt, but I think you should color the guy. This would look soooo much better if he was colored. Not that it doesnt look good now but I like color :-P

this, plus try a couple of different fillers to make a better composition...meaning you have too much of a black background :)

This is pretty tight, I like the style, I like the vibe.

I think you should clean up the lines around the figure though, jus tone them down a little bit. They're stealing just a little too much thunder from the figure itself.

That leg it's bothering me, but I know it's possible. I think maybe you should lower the belt angle, so it's pointing just a little further downwards, as if it were riding a little higher on that side. I think that might make the position of the leg a little more natural looking,.

why's everyone talking about the leg not looking natural? the point is, that it doesn't have to look natural...
