The Battle of Sins

Description

This is fan-art to "Fullmetal Alchemist" anime series. I should definetely say it's the best anime I ever seen.
So I captured the scene of fighting between Fuhrer King Bradley (Wrath) and Ling Yao (Greed). The most interesting thing about these characters is that both of them are humans and in the same time not (they are homunculus based on human bodies). If you're intrigued you must watch these brilliant series :D

This is a fantastic piece dude. Reminds me so much of Patrick Browns work. I love your guys styles. This is a great homage to the series, and a fantasic battle to have picked for this.

I agree with what *patrickbrown has written. In addition to what Pat mentioned. I would add that because of the direction Wrath (eyepatch guy) is coming from. I don't think there would be any parks coming off of Greeds armored arm. Well not in the direction it is going. If you were to say that they are both so quick. Then I would say you would have an arced line of sparks coming from somewhere near behind Wraths head over to where his arm is now. This is based off of my idea that Greed has spun around from the left side of the image as Wrath has passed him.

Something you could look into would be, adding some very soft hint of reflected light from Greeds red lit arm, and or the sparks if you are happy with where they are. I under stand that maybe these aren't the biggest of light sources but I could help draw focus to the energy the two characters have in this image. The ground although done well seems a little uniform and and doesn't add to the dynamicness of the image that the characters bring.

Also be carefull with your light sources. The two characters faces lit up the way you have done seems to me that the faces almost have their own light source. Your colours are great. Very good colour palette. I think you should have a play around with making the shadows a little darker in areas, as this could help make the image pop more too.

Hope this critique is what you are looking for.
