I'd like to start this critique like I do all the others, I am not a professional and I can be brutally honest. So please take whatever I write as opinion and not fact and with a pretty large grain of salt.With that out of the way, I'll break down each of the 4 criteria, explain why I rated them how I did, and finish it off with a closing statement.Vision: The composition does a pretty great job of conveying ideas of speed and action but could use improvement in a few small areas. Those mainly being a speed blur on either the close environment or character (depending on if they camera is stationary or moving with the character). Furthermore, even though it does convey that speed theme, that's pretty much all it says. What emotion is the main character feeling? Is he in a race? Just cruising? Not much information is presented.Originality: Not a whole lot to say here. This piece isn't particularly original, but it's also not trying to do much so it's hard to be very unique. The pose is great and fresh, but the rest is pretty common.Technique: To start this one off, I gotta say that I love the pose. It's wonderfully active and has a cool perspective. On top of that, the shading and general linework is pretty alright. The head seems a bit big, but that can be easily chalked up to style. Where I run into some problems is the focus of the painting and the background detail. With the color palette remaining vivid across the picture, your eye doesn't snap to the main character and it doesn't stay there either. Even more so, the background is lacking detail in some areas and then has some sparse detail elsewhere. This inconsistency is jarring at best. While the lack of detail possibly serves as a sort of motion blur, it's possible to have both detail and motion.Impact: This sort of harkens back to the Vision category. The posing and composition do help to convey the action idea, but without much emotion from the character and environmental cues, the emotional impact is minimal.I'd like to end this by saying that, despite what my ratings may suggest, I did really enjoy this piece. It's fun and exciting, but it needs a lot of work before it's a "5 star" in my mind. I hope the ratings weren't too harsh and well backed up! I can't wait to see what you put out in the future!
