Hey, fellow fan of Archer here - DANGER ZONE!!! Saw your piece and was endeared instantly - damn it, Archer rocks, doesn't he? Anyhoo, allow me to drop my two cents here.
First off, let me commend your attention to detail. Just zoomed in and had a look at all the careful attention you paid to the little things, like Archer's MP5 (at least I think it's an MP5), Lana's gun, Ray's profile and all that - it's quite amazing, and so is the composition itself - reminds me of a vintage Bond poster with the mixed-up perspectives and the collage-like feel.
Two things, though, if I may The shading and overall lighting style/color maybe could use some work? But, considering this is your second attempt at digital art, this is quite simply outstanding, good for you!
Also, I remember when I first started down the digital path, it was quite frustrating before I started experimenting with different Photoshop (or whatever graphical editing software you use) brushes. Try them out - maybe some will inspire you to experiment with digital color blending techniques and texturing.

Hello from
Firstly, though I've heard of "Archer", I've never watched it, so I can't comment on that. So this will on the artistic merit of the piece only.
So as part of weekly comment, I receive a group of art pieces to choose from to comment on. This one stood out to me, because obviously you've got a good style. But as this is project comment, I'm going to focus on areas I think could improve.
1) colour: I'm not sure if your colour choices are based on the show's colour scheme. If so, please ignore this. Though your colour choices are pretty, it's quite pale. I think a piece entitled "Danger Zone" would benefit from more bold and powerful colours. Also more contrast. It's very gentle right now and doesn't scream out "danger".
2) lines: I see that this is your only second attempt at digital art, so I think for that, it's okay. But lines are a bit choppy and noncommittal right now. Stronger and more confident lines would be good I think.Β
3) composition: It seems a bit clumped together in the middle with a very open and empty background. In a thumbprint, I didn't see the small group of people and thought there were only three people in the piece. A different arrangement to spread them out may be good?Β
Please take these comments as you need. Obviously you've got a great grasp of human shapes, etc., as they all look quite perfect. It's a cool comic book style you used here. I assume with more experience with digital art, we'd see a great improvement. I made a switch to digital art a few years ago, and it took quite a while. I'm still trying to figure out the brushes as they feel so different from traditional art. Keep up the good work Β

I really like everything except the Linework and the old lady's boob, other than that is a really neat piece of artwork

I'd say not let us see the white lines in the middle of it; and for the breast just try to make the other breast visible; since the perspective sorta messes with me

Seems like there's whitelines in the middle of the black lines; I haven't seen Archer so it might be intentional
