    It is a bit low resolution, but I like the effects.

    the only issue I can see other than the resolution problem, is that your lighting is a bit off for his left arm and shoulder.

    if you want the full resolution stock (9600x5400) , then here.

    Ya, it was reaally LQ when I accidentally sharpened it without looking at it in the actual size. I'm a little confused as to why it turned out low-ish res.. the stock was good :/

    The lighting is a bit off admittedly. Thanks for the comparison stock, it helps

    Edit: Are the dimensions off for a wallpaper? I googled a good size and yahoo answers said it was

    o_O Thats awesome.

    Yeah, the lighting is a bit off.

    The white-ish outline around his body seems a little bright though, but that's probably just me.

    Overall, it's really good. Good Job!

    it's about 4 times larger than needed for my retina display, and there is no pixilation, as it is the original image size.

    If you want, you can check out the source site. It has tons of H4 concept art, renders, and videos, all at original resolution, you won't find better quality stock.

    also, have you tried using minus as your image host?

    most image hosting sites compress your images to save space, minus uploads with near 0 quality loss, and it's free.

    Thanks for the input, caughtsword

    Cool, thanks for sharing
    I uploaded with deviantart. They pretty much never compress with large files...

    I just checked the stock.. and it's the stock that's off. I thought it wasn't but now that I zoomed in it is. Woops, used a LQ stock
