Description The original is by Skottie Young so I can only imagine he owns this and I should give him credit.

Let me first say i really like the character captured in this image. You have captured the childish nature of man as well as the cruel, nurture deprived, nature of of Vader himself.

The 5 things that catch my eye are
1. The lines: i think there are only 3 straight lines in this whole image. While this in itself is not a bad thing, the lack of structure in the image from these lines missing creates a "distorted" look.

2. Angle: the lines of the floor are not at the same angle as the back left wall...again this causes the image to look distorted and makes depth hard to judge. Scale is based on depth perception and so it also makes scale hard to interpret.

3. Shading: I really don't know where to start e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/f… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Facepalm"/>. Vader has an entirely black attire which can make it really hard to color and shade him properly. The key is gradients. Use darker shades of gray to round things out and give the image depth. Look at the helmet for example, the face place is recessed from the forehead region but you really cant tell since it is all black. Also pick a static light source so that all your shadows and gradients will have the same source and give a cohesive feel to the image rather then a contrasting one. Here there is no real light source indicated except possibly a ceiling light.

4. Scale: Wow... that must be a 100lb cat to be that size. I am assuming Vader is about 5-6 years old in this image and that cat is as big, if not, a little bigger then he is.

5. Anatomy: Why are the cat's feet backwards? The angle of Vader's leg-stance and the angle of his arms just don't seem to fit. It looks like he is standing sideways and somehow his top is at a forward facing angle. While this is humanly possible, it is not something that is natural by any means and i honestly couldn't imagine Vader standing like that unless he was doing tai chi. Lastly, Vader seems to be missing some fingers on one of his hands.

In closing let me say I really hope this does not cause distress or anger. I give you my observation and opinion in hopes that you can move past them and evolve as an artist.
