Thanks to

for all the help.

Just trying out some new styles. I really wanted to do a looser painted look. I think it came out rather nicely.

This has good visual form, here, and it's got good use of light and contrast, but I think it could use more in the way of line work, or at least less scratchy paint on the main body, as thats where the focus seems to be. The picture is stunning zoomed out, but lacks quality at it's current size, but I think a smoother job with the color work around the torso, legs, and face would make it easier to look at. Aside from that, the legs are a little strange to look at, and also very long, but it doesn't seem to degrade from the picture in any way. The cape and hair are well done in with the brush used, but the rest just makes it look rushed.

What do you think?

I have to admit I like the new style you used...But there is something about all that white that bugs me...No offence maybe if it had been a mix of grey's with the white. But I guess in a sense it ties in with the title. But I like how it turned out.

Overall I love how you captured Vincent's cloak and the first thing that caught my eyes was Cerberus (his gun) As I looked down and over the painting I found that the brush strokes brought out such simple and great detail.

Overall the detail is breath taking but the background...It just bugs me. But the way you captured Vincent makes up for it big time well done
