You added so much detail into such a simple character!
The background gives a nice medieval theme to it too, great job!

Now, proportionally (and stylized) this piece is well made, and though it's not realistic, it all fits properly. In fact, it looks as if i stays true to the actual official art for Castle Crashers. You also didn't use stock colours, you used plenty of orange hues and mixed them together to create a more interesting mass of colours. You have an amazing amount of detail and colours incorporating itself into the figure all over, and the rest of the space as well. Even the subtle things are beautiful, like the reflective light on the grass and figure (both green and yellow). Not to mention the grass obscuring just a tiny bit of the foot, making it feel as if it's actually realized there in the piece.
Your picture plane isn't generic either, as you've the edges torn and painted up, creating a more interesting composition and degree of movement in a round motion, leading your eyes wherever.
When I first saw this piece, there was no background outside of an abstract green backdrop, it's nice to see it develop into a fully realized space with the castle actually blending into the blue background, as it would in reality. It's also great how you actually 'painted' this, leaving barely any line from the initial drawing, and barely any black.
Good use of colour and values, however, I think the contrast between the the edges of the sword could be more impressive. Outside of that, I'm pretty fond of this.
Great work, my looove.
god, I love this. this coloring style is hjsafhdsjf amazing in my opinion. I love the blendy-painty kind of coloring style from you.
how the background is all kind of blended and faint makes the knight stand out, and I like that. the way the picture isn't just a straight rectangle is cool too, it gives it an illustration-like feel.
overall, good job! I'd love to see this coloring style used on a realistic portrait or something.
I'm doing another piece using this technique. It's somewhat of a portrait, but not quite. I put a WIP on my tumblr, you can go look at it there. [link]
