To begin a portrait is only as strong as its' weakest part, which is your backround eventhough it took a short amount of time it takes away from your great effort in depiction of Admiral Adama. Although screen would have been luminous if this were a photo, however it distracts from portrait because it has a high contrast between it and area around it. By blurring it and blending colors into backround more or less would allow one to still understand that its' aa computer screen without having to tell them with details. Arch off to right behind Adama is a good industrail element to have included, but in this positon its' spliting that portion of the portait from rest of piece. Space between computer screen and industrial element is a void, perhaps could work better if it hinted at something, as in more industrail elements or a hallway because it keeps drawing my attention to that area. As for the actual portrait, well done.

Thank you very much! =)
very constructive and it helped me much. I shall keep your good critics in mind on my next work. This one, (though its fault) is finished. One thing about art is to catch the eye.

Oh my this is amazing! The way you colored his face makes my drool turn to frost! I love it! I don't mean to be nosey but can I ask what program did you use to do all of that?

Great work. Very good lighting and skin texture. +8
