V2: V3: V4: I seriously need to get more vector brushes xD, trying with something Vector-ish this time, and yes, I know, the background is plain boring, but I fail at backgrounds ._.;. REAL CnC please?
xD I iz sorry, I never saw the thread. xD Well I say V2 FTW. The brushing is very nice and all, the tan background is a definite plus, but there's some thing... Missing? I'd say try adding some textures and some really small specs/splatters. On top of that, the light source on his right shoulder is in the wrong spot, so fix that. Add some color splotches too. (paint in a color, Gaussian blur it by a high amount, set to dodge or something)
^Lowered the texture^ Any better, and this is my only texture, I have a serious lack of resources ._.;, and I think I ruined the part of the splotches, they are barely visible ^^;.
