colors, lighting, composition, style - everything great!

Nice work. I like the movement of the scene. I think the hand with the orb could use a bit more work though.

So very nice indeed! I really admire your talent! Encore!

Awesome character design!!

Beautiful work!

yeah that pretty great!! put the concept in warcraft 4

Beautiful work!

cool work

I love this so much, I keep going back and looking at it every now and then. There's definitely a lot of mood in it that makes you wonder about who this guy is and what's his story.

very nice

Very pretty! It would have been so nice to see this more developed! The concept and colors are beautiful.

Poor guy, he looks so forlorn.
The wind-whipped effect is superb and, along with the colors, creates a strong mood. Like the textured brush work, as well. If there's any area I think could benefit from a bit more development, it's the orb and hand, as purplerose said.
P.S. I like seeing a less whispy elf for a change (he even has a beard!)

wow. i love the expression and the whole mood. top marks!

His eyes look a bit uneven, and the sticks in the background could have been worked on some more.
Still, the stormy feeling made by the lighting and the wind's touch on the surroundings give the painting a very strong sense of air, temperature and even smell. It's like I can step right in there and feel it all. Good work!!

Reminds me of Mr Spook from one of those science fiction programs... You know!

Nice portrait.
Beautyful colours.

ups, sorry.
