Gears of War: Marcus

Okay. Let me first say that this is an utterly amazing piece. Amazing.

Now, after I have stopped wishing to pull my fingers out at the knuckle, I will attempt to put some feedback into this.

Overall: Beautifully rendered, the details in the structures and small things that are easily overlooked are so nice and well done, it is a truly worthy piece of art on par with alot of professionals. It's hard to see alot of this kind of passion and attention to detail in pieces sometimes, and it is refreshing to see it come out here.

A picture like this is supposed to tell a story in one snapshot. The impact of the piece is a little less for me, as Marcus is standing looking off in a direction while a troupe of monsters close on his position. Now, this may have been intended, but storywise, it makes me kinda think he's not paying attention, and we all know that isn't what's happening. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> But, because of that, he looks a little out of place in the story.

I think that is my only thought on this piece that bothered me. Every piece and character is very dutifully rendered, and a ton of work went into this labor of love.
