First up, the colours. In the game, the sprites were drawn with a light and airy tone. The colours used here. They're light. They're airy. I think this is what draws me most to the work most of all. The artist takes heed of the original art designers conceptual work and reimagines it. I feel that the colours are right on the money; I do feel there should be some contrast with the background a little more so he jumps out just that little bit more, but that's only my honest opinion.
The pose is a simple one. It tells me that it doesn't need to be complicated to serve it's purpose. You can tell he's of tribal folk right off the bat, he carries a large log and the empty, un-urbanized wasteland shows that.
Overall I really adore this piece. It plucks at my heartstrings, but from an artistic perspective, it is also a brillant tribute to a near-forgotten RPG treasure. The colours of this piece is its highest point.
Your ability to replicate Cray (Love his name so much) and to make him look so flawlessly kick-ass and dare I must say, hot, is just impeccable. All that detail in his body, clothing, and his weapon are all so vivid, thanks to all your marvelous shading and blending. The landscape is just so stunning. The fluidly soft clouds and sky, contrast so beautifully to both the distant land, and Cray himself. I love your usage of lighting in the upper-left corner and having it be a subtle, yet important factor. It's all so visually captivating. I do suggest playing around more with textures. Areas like maybe, the weapon, the feathers, and maybe a leather-y feel in his belt.
As to why I rate originality as a four is because the main subject is from another source, but regardless, the execution is infallibly appealing. I look forward to more of your art.
From, Hercules.
