i wasn't going to crit this since i couldnt really see much that was bugging me. the blurr effect is GENIUS because it shows action and intensity, the blood effects: pretty much flawless.
the only big thing i noticed was that the shark only has one row of teeth. in real life, most sharks have 5 to 15 rows of teeth in each jaw. unlike human teeth, shark teeth don't have roots to hold them in place, so their teeth are easily broken off. A tooth usually lasts about a week before it falls out, then the tooth behind it moves up to replace it. you dont have to add 14 more rows of teeth, probably just two more rows of smaller teeth behind the one you already have would be enough to give the illusion of more rows.
the other thing you MIGHT want to do, though it's only a small suggestion, is to add a little more of a splash around the shark to show even more action and momentum.
great work! very epic indeed!
The title hails back to the MTV generation of a celebrity deathmatch type scenario where the only confines, aside from the boxing ring ropes, were the limits of the animators imagination. This is a brave and powerful image, striking awe and fear into the viewers' hearts. This artist has no limit to his imagination, knows no boundaries and takes great relish in exhibiting an image that will excite, shock and beguile the viewer. In one word, this IS epic.
The composition is perfect - from the gaping jaws and swirling blood red waters to the arc of gore from the viking's wielded axe. Smooth, clear and beautifully proportioned, the detail in the shark is beautiful... the wet skin, like rubber; the dead black eye and the rolled back lip exposing the rows of bloody saw-like razor sharp teeth. The detail in the viking - stoically holding on and seemingly berserk in his frenzied attack - the helmet gleaming, and the muscle shown in his forearms... perfect.
I have awarded FULL MARKS for each category. I have not seen anything quite so radical and adrenalin fuelled in quite some time. This is visionary, original and unquestionably memorable. The artists technique is unsurpassable. And as for impact... well... like I said at the beginning - it made my heart beat faster as a rush of adrenalin flooded my veins. It looks amazing FULL VIEW size and the artist should be selling prints of this. It's a phenomenal piece of art!
