Interesting. I've never heard of that story, but this picture makes me curious as to what it could be about. The use of brilliant colors and hard, angular lines really bring this picture out in sharp relief--the soft feathers of the eagle are a nice contrast. I was wondering why it was rated M til I realised he's standing on a dead body. Then I was like... oh... makes sense. Nice use of blood! The character has such a ferocious stare... makes me really glad he's not going to come out of the picture after me. He seems so vicious...

School projects can always be better, can't they? I think that as long as you had fun with this image (and got a good grade) than that's all that matters, ne? You will be better with your next image--that's just the way it works! Good luck!
