This has quite the intense for simply just an arm and a broken wrench. The pencil work that is applied is really well done. The shading inside the palm of the hand is very realistic. Although the outline on the arm and hand kinda looses its realism, but not too much though because I notice a drop shadow in under the arm and pieces. The placement of a bar code is appropriate where it is, in fact it gives what I said before, intense. The use of color is simply powerful. Good choice of red, not too bright or not too dull. As for interpretation, it looks to me (I'm speaking for myself here) as of failure, or when things can no longer work anymore it one feels like giving up. The bar code on the wrist ( or on any place on the body) feels to symbolize lack of freedom and individuality. Good concept. Another thing that throws the art piece off a little bit is the use of texture in the background. It looks like fabric, which looks nice, but doesn't make the image of the arm and wrench more impact full. Perhaps a more gritty or scratches of metal could make it more fitting. Nevertheless, it does take too much away from the arm. So here is the overall crtic for grading:

4 stars on vision, because it clear on what the concept is. I lacks one because it still has a vague meaning as to what this piece symbolizes. For example, is it about oppression, the lack of individualism and being treated like a common drone, or what?

3.5 stars on Originality, it is your concept and your art piece is you original work, but the concept has been used before like in the film Repo Men, for example, when they used bar codes to ID people's organ's.

4.5 stars on Technique since this piece show you have skill (great skill for that matter) when it comes to drawing. The hand shows that you took time in drawing it so it doesn't look alien or something. Basically, this art piece shows great effort and no rush. Why the half and not the full 5 is because of the texture back ground. Thats all.

5 stars on impact, because quite frankly, this is a likely situation to come in the future. They did to people in the holocaust and place serial numbers on them, I don't see what is stopping them. So it has impact, on me at least.

So thank you for submitting this, it really is well done.

Quite an impact...I do theatrical lighting work, and often find myself high above the ground with my wrench...Let this be a warning to me to wear a safety harness XD

Beautiful concept, and well-executed.
