<div align="center">Sup guys!! Here's my latest work, hope you all like it. Heavenly Sword - Version 1 - Heavenly Sword - Version 2 - Please comment on this guys!! Thanks </div>
[/b][/quote] well, i like this piece, mostly it explores depth and does so very well. The forest theme goes well with the render, and you have created flow with the swipe, and light up area. However I fear the golden area surrounding the render, is a little over sharpened, although that just emphasises flow and depth. Its a very nice piece.
the swipe effect you have just seems like it got cut off on the right side. swipes and then cuts off?
I was thinking I may have made the effect to sharp, I'm trying to dullen the sharpness a little without destroying the effect though. About the swipe, yes it is kind of cut off, but I'm not 100% sure how it would look cutting it across her hair, and I was trying to follow the path of the sword, which you'll notice is cut off as well. She did have anothe sword but it didn't have enough room for it so I had to edit it out. I'll take a look at your guys comments and put them into my tag, and post up a new verison. Thanks for the comments guys !!
v2 with the slash going the whole way looks MUCH better. After people mentioned it, it was really bugging me haha
