Fi VS Ghirahim

It's the classic red versus blue, good versus evil in this piece. The consistent color theme unifies the work while various clothing textures and battle effects add some nice pizzaz. There is also consistency in the individual characters' designs. The evil persona is covered and sharp, jagged symbols, and the other character's wardrobe consists of smooth, curved designs. Overall, great unity.

The weakest point of this piece lies within its composition. The view is basic, with each character having an equal spacing, creating a very flat battle scene. If you don't wish to change the angle of the scene, give the characters a more direct line of action. Add dynamics through multiple light sources and a perhaps a light source at the clash of their swords. A great way to add more action is changing the scene angle all together. Try to think the audience is viewing a scene from an action film, slightly above eye level, keeping both characters in the shot, but one closer to the camera than the other. With this, you'll be able to create a stronger, more visible battle stance for the character, compared to the ambiguous side view.

I hope I don't sound too picky. You did a good job overall. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
