So many struggling artists, particularly friends of mine, or at the very least acquaintances I wish I knew better... Nearly all of them better artists than I...

I'd probably commission them all if I had some sort of income.

(Ok the "nearly" bit was a conceit... but I have to give myself some credit once in a while)

But anyway, I love the sparsity and blackness of the blood, as well as the excellent expressions on the faces. The teeth in particular are very nice. They have a very specific feel that adds to the mood of the image, due to the more realistic individual teeth as opposed to more stylized mouths.

The mostly muted colors give it a very intense feeling.

And I have to comment on the glow of the energy forming in Dashi's hand there. I have to mention it because it is so well done that it didn't tear my attention away from any other part of the image. While this may sound like a bad thing, what 'm actually saying is that it is so effective that it doesn't distract from the quality of the rest of the image, as most special effects tend to when I look at them.

It looks like it should be there, as though it was intentional, and not just something added to the image to make it 'look a little cooler.'

I find myself trying to add such effects to my work sometimes, and I never manage to succeed. My effects always seem too forced when I look at them, as well as many others from other artists. Usually when I see visual effects like this, they remind me of cheap stickers children put on photos to make them look more exciting...

but this looks fully intentional, and fits the style of the image.

I'd actually like to see this on a dark backdrop, I think it might add more to the gritty ambiance it already exudes.

Another thing that only just now caught my attention is the lack of shading. I didn't notice it before because it doesn't seem to need anything extra.

Wow, this looks really cool Dash--too bad I don't have the money to commission you at the moment, I spent what little I had to pay part of my reserve on Kirby Mass Attack. ^ ^;

Still, maybe you should sprite Sai sometime--he looks like a really cool character. :3
