I started to model this character and then i decided to give him an environment to live in..
everything is settled in the vietnam war, all the props should be historically accurate, i've done a lot of researches..
..the helicopter is a huey UH-1B, obviously deformed to fit the needs of my cartoon character :)

Awesome work dayno. This really is a brilliant piece of artwork and it's damn funny too. This would make a great animation piece!
Strong Points:Great character design. Surfacing detail is really impressive too. Love the bullet holes
Weak Points:The main characters right arm has an odd deformation to it. It's not a huge distraction, but a small tweak would go a long way.
Recommendations:Add some motion blur to the blades.
It would be cool to see a little bit of an influence of the wind from the main guy hanging out the window. It might be difficuly without damaging such a nice pose. Maybe it could be as simple as making his cigar red hot with some smaller embers kicking off the back.

Strong Points:detail, design, render
Weak Points:composition, mood...
Recommendations:The composition is a bit empty for me.
The left part is ok but the right part miss some elements. Maybe you should work on the clouds to add more dark and bright variations...

Overall,good work.
Strong Points:I love cartoon,so the style of the image Is what I most like. Texture work and design is really good.
Weak Points:The lack of speed in the helicopter. I'd like to see the rotor spinning,motionblurred. I think there's no sense of speed and movement.
Recommendations:I'd try to improve the realism of the context. They're flyng,moving,it must not be an easy shot for the "camera" to take that "picture".
animated short in the making!

Overall Dayno this is a great piece of work mate, it caught my eye when looking through the website. It could do with some of that finessing that we've mentioned, but these are small things that would add to an already amazing image, Look forward to seeing more!
Strong Points:Texture work is looking great, models is cool and the overall idea is fantastic good example of great story character. Has loads of potential to take it further into a full animated short.
Weak Points:I would say from the point of the texture work that you could given as much attention to the skids and propeller as you have to the overall body of the chopper.
Recommendations:It would be great to carry that same kind of scuffed up look to those other areas where you would expect that damage to also be, and grease etc in the areas where the engine exhaust would be. Also you might want to of add some grunge to your characters clothes, just to mess him up a bit, all looks a bit too clean. Not sure if you wanted him to have a bit of a story there or not, but this might add to the history of the main character. I also agree with Andrew in adding motion blur to the blades as it would sell this whole look perfectly.
What a great work!

This image is awesome: Your composition, your color choices and your level of detail are well chosen! You've nailed your subject. The idea of the rotor blade coming out of the frame is great. I could look at the image for minutes and still be excited! Great job!
Strong Points:Texturing: Both modeling and texturing have an amazing amount of details!
Weak Points:Pose: The only thing that I think you could think of to improve your image would be the pose of the main character...
Recommendations:Perhaps you could let the main character look down instead of into the camera
Great cartoon image

I love the texturing work and facial expressions.Looks as though it will make a great cartoon if animated. I agree with the other you need a little motion blur for the blades.
Excellent

Superb! :)
Strong Points:lol, brilliant. great characters, love the materials and textures.
Weak Points:no real weak points for me...maybe you could blur the rotor blades slightly and suggest the wind/turbulence around the chopper...thats really just nit-pickin' an awesome piece of work mate.
Recommendations:show more of ya work!
