I dont really get it either but i hope Shinji69 sees this type of action when he goes to war!
Oh i forgot to comment on the pic, the detail of the creature in the background looks good, to me it would make more sense if you reversed the focus from background to foreground, Did that make sense, cause i don't get it, Your probably still working on it thats why its in work in progress, better then my efforts though

So what do you think? is my scheme of making the viewer look at the big grining sonofabitch in the top lft corner working?
------------------------------------------
I missed your comment, well I thought about doing it like that but then it would be a shame to lose the detail of the big grining sonofabitch in the top lft corner, I have a in progress copy of this pic without the blur effect.

Someone already gave you a quality suggestion and you didn't even acknowledge it.
Why is the foreground blurrier than the background? Swany is quite right, it should be reversed. It doesn't make sense this way, and it makes the image really uncomfortable to look at. The colours ARE indeed far too saturated. I feel like I'm looking at a poster for the 80's. Try and do a bit of research on colour theory to find out which colours/colour schemes work well together. Violet and green isn't one of those that fits the above. :P
I like the idea, and I like the mood you are aiming for, but I think you need to spend a tiny bit more time laying down a stronger basis before you attempt to overwhelm yourself with all the details. |

Well, I think the composiotion problem lies with the foreground figure being too big. If the foreground is not in focus it shouldn't fill the entire screen, rather just a portion of it. That way you could also work a bit more on composition, and perhaps draw the vievers attention to the grinning thing even more.
My thoughts right now...

I actually like the idea that the foreground is blurred and not the background. But to each his/her own. It kind of gives the effect of the viewer focused somewhere in the background and something very large quickly comes into view but this is a capture of what it might look like right before you can focus on the foreground. It's art and I would keep it the way it is. |

Corn Pops - The blurry foreground-to-background thing he has going is simulating depth of field, a camera trick where objects becomes increasingly blurry the farther away they are from the object being focused on.
You'll see it a lot in still photos and in plenty of movies, and I think that's the effect that pixhorthit is going for here.
Ditto on what Sukhoi said, though. If it's out of focus it shouldn't be consuming that much of the picture space. |

Finaly someone gets it, ok the guy closest to the viewer is a bit big, and picture consuming, I guess I can make him smaller, and fill it up wth more characters... |

The color scheme reminds a bit of the Amiga Demo Scene pictures.  |

I like the general idea, and a sense of depth is given. However, It feels more like paper cutouts than true 3d. |
