Artist's Comments
when i finished this pic, i was remembering a particularily fine moment of my marital arts history...
it was a wintery tasmanian dawn, and i was out at my mountain dojang (and when i say 'mountain dojang' what i mean is a kicking-bag tied to a tree branch) in a jumper(not a hoody) and shorts (to aid in the flexibility of my kicks) ...a cold sun rose through the trees, and i just took a short moment to collect my thoughts, think about who i was, where i was going, exactly what i wanted from life......then i exhaled a small cloud of white and continued to beat the living crap out of my bag... i thought about using a clear sky instead of the dojang wall, but then i decided i liked the texture too much...and i liked the feeling the red breath gave too...i gave some thought to 'heating' the skin, y'know, giving it a warmer colour, or even a glow, but i eventually decided against it...a little too corny... anyway, i tried to take in as much of your useful advice as possible, if i missed anything, tell me! i seem to remember my forgetting sommit really, really important! i think in future I'll ask you guys for more advice, i mean, i prolly never would have mucked with those lighting effects if it hadn't been for  's advice, and a few of you suggested i darken that shadow on the inside of the hood...it's your pic...nasty, verging on abusive crit appreciated! |

Woo I have t3h nipples LOL
Though i must say that there isn't much "Coldness" feel on this pic, i think that maybe another BG or some fog would give that feeling better. Still i think that this is a great work!
