Thanks for a feedback, guys.
dragonrc, thanks for edit.
yosh64, yeah, that's true. Sometimes a short nap solves some issues. Last night flash shades look either dirty or burning and just cant find reasonable middle point in saturation, today somehow it looks not that critical.
zeid, agree on sword thing - should deal with readability as well, thanks.
snake, good points, though i meant him standing leaning on one leg to support shield weight, looks like i didn't get it right - probably should repose it and fix overall dynamic. Thanks.
Helm, thanks - I'd say that's valid suggestions, I'll look at your edit closer.
mangust, thanks for the points. Don't quite get about big form stuff, but I'm going to fix his pose as soon as my clients get off my tail.=)
