That is beautiful. The ONLY thing i can think of that should be changed is that the red background just dosen't look right... :/ Maybe it should be a different color.. I dunno. But I give it a 10/10

I think it's pretty cool, but the red maple leaves look a bit out of place... I like the red background, the leaves, and I love the face. Just as ThaBirdman pointed out, it has a lot of expression! :)

The first Image was excellent, the only thing not working was the pale mezzotint red background! Since you have blues and greens, the eyes needs some contrast. I think a sepia tone or light mustard tranparency would really help it. The second one is good, but the first is excellent, besides, you have the same problem everyone else has, "Knowing when to stop" curse of an artist!hehehehehehehehe

Superb vector mate, cant fault you on your pen skills. Its just objects in the scene that are confusing me.

I cant see the relation between, leaves, kid, spray cans, circles and stranges ping pong balls on stalks. It dosnt seem to have a theme.

The spray cans seem very industrial, I would of thought buildings in the background would of worked or traffic congestion.

I think you've got a great picture, but if you tweak it, it could be excellent.

Personally, I´d like if you stick to one color! I liked the second picture better, the first was a bit to "naked", too much air, too much free space.
Your pen tool skills are for sure awesome, I really like the way you´ve drawn the spraycans and the kid. If you could stick to one color, and migth change a few elements, it´d be excellent!

Mooey and Indigo hit it right on the dot for your second one, but for me, I still like your first one. There's just something about it that appeals to me...

But I think you should definately, definately take out the maple leaves. They don't fit in right with the design flow in my opinion. :) Keep up the work!

I like your first one better. It's pretty awesome. I think the first one would look better if the colours were a bit brighter.

its okay... never been a good fan of vector images nor understood them, but overall u can make a much much better leafs, and the lightning or w/e u have used over the head of that human being isnt really good cause u can see the gradient changes that go from color to color.

PS: i hope u dont consider me as a party-pooper, just being honest

first one owns. the only things i have to point out is the vector brushes in the background should NOT be grunge style. that kills the whole look. also, there is too much vector brushing in the bottom left. maybe make the background a solid color? and maybe give the face some color.

9/10
