Hey. Is that supposed to be water around him? It needs a lot more ripples if that's the case.

I can see the flaws in this, but it was good. At least you tried your best, despite how early you've been working on.

Like what they said, the water needs more ripple, it seems 2-Dimensional, the water doesn't look like water, the reflections need to look like actual reflections, and the island the guy's standing on is just one black image with no colored features.

Not hardly. I was supposed to animate shooting stars and cosmic stuff going on but to be honest after drawing that many stars of different sizes for over an hour I got sleepy, fast. And it was 6am (woke up at 3pm the previous day).

The water was the absolute last thing I did and by far the laziest. I honestly forgot how to do the reflection effect this morning that's how out of it I was. I'll polish it up later as it is more than likely going to be used for the project it was designed to be a 'tryout' for.

It still looks great Arch, and it'll look nearly-perfect once you fix those ripples/reflections.

Nice theme, I'll wait with critiquing until you post a more polished version, looks like everything has already been mentioned.

I'm actually putting this on the backburner more than likely for a while so don't expect to see it finished anytime soon. It got me what I was going for.

You can expect another really cool background by the end of the night :) And maybe another screenshot from my RHG animation. Maybe.
