It usually takes me around 3-5 hours to complete a composition, but since I was recording my Photoshop methods, I did this Cyclops homage to Lyonel Feininger's 'Bird Sky' in an hour. I made a compressed video (with song), and loaded it up on youtube Check it out: [link]
Through all the pictures that I flip through on a daily basis this one really stood out to me, and, what was even more exciting was the fact that you wanted a critique on it. So, first off, the color scheme you chose is absolutely stunning, and the bold and powerful colors really harmonize beautifully together. The originality of this is also refreshingly overwhelming. I love how you made the structure of the Phoenix and the background within the piece. The design is so unique and very catching to the eye, I've seen a ton of Phoenix/Cyclops pieces but this one really got my attention. The emotion you portray with Scott Summers in this picture gives off a simple, determined, yet, brute force; plus a slight hint of heartbreak and longing. Also, clearly the technique you used was effective because it's aesthetically amazing. And moreover, the impact you've created on me (and obviously others) can be best described as surprisingly powerful and very very unique.
