Thanks for any views. It took me a couple of days for this one. Mixed media: Bryce, lots of modelling in CB model pro put together with PS.
(Ruffian 4 its behind you!)

Sorry forgot I took a stock image and added the imperial guard armour. The stock image is from Nemesis 19 from Deviant art link :http://nemesis-19.deviantart.com/art/US-Soldier-Desert-Spec-Ops-49-180783393. Thanks Nemesis.

Things do not look bright for young ruffian.. well apart from the shiny bloodsplatter upon sand in Tminus 10...9...

Looks good!

The scout's left hand placement looks too soft. If he's leaning on that hand then all his weight is on finger tips which somehow are not in the sand.

The shadows on the aquilla don't seem to match the shadow direction of the scout either.

Good start though

I'm not at all happy at being in lethal pantomime.
Save me buttons!

Thanks Mattjgilbert :I genuinely appreciate all critique-yes I had troubles with the shadow, I had to do it from scratch and warping it really was a pain. I thought the hand was hovering over the sand but I would agree the hand shadow should come closer to the hand, again my PS skills were lacking.

Infinitely better than my non-existent ones!
